Abstract :
When measuring technical efficiency, the notion of a radial distance measure may be replaced with the concept of a nonradial distance measure. Also, the assumption of crisp production plans may be substituted with the weaker assumption of fuzzy production plans. This paper merges these concepts and evaluates the efficiency performance of a newspaper preprint insertion production line
