A <strong>novel</strong> DEA <strong>model</strong> <strong>for</strong> solving supplier selection problems 305Appendix 1: The translation invariance conceptFigure 1 depicts the lack of the translation invariance property of the input oriented BCC<strong>model</strong> with respect to inputs. In the input-oriented BCC efficiency of, which is thedistance of DMU D from the efficiency frontier constructed by efficient units A and B.This ratio is not values by deducting unity from them. Now, the efficiency frontieroriented BCC efficiency of DMUD ′ , DMU D after translation becomes, which is thedistance of from the efficiency frontier constructed by efficient units A′ and B′. SinceOR/OD # OR′/OD′, the input-oriented BCC <strong>model</strong> is not translation invariant with respectto the inputs.Figure 1Translation in the BCC <strong>model</strong>
