Abstract :
In the present world, there are many two-stage systems
which provide information of inputs, outputs and intermediate measures
which are imprecise, such as, (stochastic, fuzzy, interval etc). In these
conditions, a two-stage data envelopment analysis or a (two-stage DEA
method) cannot evaluate the effciencies of these systems. In several
two-stage systems, the simultaneous presence of stages is necessary for
the nal product. Hence, in this paper, we shall propose the stochas-
tic multiplicative model and the deterministic equivalent, to measure
the effciencies of these systems, primarily, in the presence of stochastic
data, under the constant returns to scale (CRS) assumption, by using
the non-compensatory property of the multiplication operator.Then, we
will use the reparative property of the additive operation to propose the
additive models as well as the deterministic equivalents, to calculate the
effciencies of two-stage systems, in presence of stochastic data, under
