description The proposed bi-objective fuzzy data envelopment analysis (BOFDEA) model is a new approach to assess the performance efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs) in uncertain environments using <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-cuts. The model is based on fuzzy data envelopment analysis (FDEA) and considers two objectives, and a solution method and ranking system are provided. Generally, the efficiency score obtained for a DMU using the <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-cut approach is an interval. Intervals are partially ordered sets, due to which ranking intervals is a challenging task. The proposed BOFDEA model with <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-cuts provides the efficiency of DMUs in the crisp form, not in the form of intervals. Due to this, ranking DMUs with the proposed method’s help becomes very easy and less computationally. The proposed model has been validated through numerical examples, and a real-world application in the education sector has been shown to demonstrate its practicality.
