N2 - The process of selecting material handling (MH) models as well as evaluating related MH systems is a milestone for the design of manufacturing and logistics facilities. In order to support managers towards this process, we propose a new methodology, based on data envelopment analysis (DEA), and deploying over two stages. In the first stage, the best MH models are selected on the ground of the MH manufacturer's technical specifications and market prices. In the second stage, alternative MH systems are produced through combinations of best MH models picked in preset numbers, from different category pools, according to a set of criteria. For both stages, we develop a DEA cross-evaluation framework that exploits the voting system embedded under the cross-efficiency matrix and integrates the manager's subjective judgment as an essential component of the decision making process. The proposed procedure is illustrated using a sample of MH equipment collected from catalogues of MH manufacturers and vendors.
