Abstract: This paper deals with the generalised restructuring decision making units under inter-temporal dependence data. An important issue for generalised restructuring of a set of decision making units is the estimation of the input and output levels inherited from pre-restructuring decision making units between post-restructuring decision making units to achieve full dynamically efficiency levels. This issue, the input and output-estimation for achieving efficiency targets, is investigated via the inverse data envelopment analysis concept. An effective method is provided that allows managers to incorporate their preference in targets setting of a restructuring for saving/producing specific input/output levels in each time period of the assessment window as much as possible. Sufficient conditions are derived for input and output estimation using multiple-objective programming problems. The applicability of the proposed method is illustrated through a banking sector example.
