However, in all the papers which deal with the volume discount concept in DEA models, each decision-making unit (DMU) is free to decide which outputs and inputs to emphasise that in turn cause to have many efficient DMUs. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to use the cross-efficiency method when suppliers offer volume discounts. A numerical example demonstrates the application of the proposed method.

Suppliers ranking by cross-efficiency evaluation in the presence of volume discount offers
