EN We consider a ratio-based efficiency analysis in view of achieving performance targets by Decision Making Units. The targets refer to the efficiency scores or ranks and the truth of pairwise preference relations. These outcomes can be instantiated for at least one or all feasible weights associated with inputs and outputs. We discuss Multiple Objective Optimization problems that minimize the required reductions of consumed resources or increases of produced results needed to reach the pre-defined aims. The proposed models offer great flexibility to the Decision Maker, who can indicate which factors should be modified and to which extent. The evolutionary optimization algorithm computes a set of solutions that exhibit the trade-offs between expected modifications of various factors. They can serve as the basis for interactively selecting the most preferred solution to be implemented in practice. The use of the proposed framework is illustrated in the problem of analyzing the efficiency of Polish airports.
