A fuzzy multiple objective programming approach to data envelopment analysis (DEA) of imprecise data is proposed in this paper. The problems involving a mixture of imprecise and exact data for all decision making units (DMUs) could be resolved and the discriminating power of imprecise DEA (IDEA) is enhanced. Although Cooper et al. have developed IDEA to overcome the issues of imprecise data, the discriminating power is not satisfactory since too many efficient DMUs are derived. Chiang and Tzeng's approach using fuzzy multiple objective programming techniques is adopted to enhance the discriminating power of IDEA. The same data set of Cooper et al. is employed to illustrate the merit of our approach.
