This paper develops slacks-based measure (SBM) and additive SBM (ASBM) to evaluate efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) in a two-stage structure with undesirable outputs and feedback variables from the internal perspective. The SBM model is linearized for a specific weight and the ASBM model is reformulated as a second order cone program. The target values for all inputs, outputs (both desirable and undesirable) and intermediate products are provided. This study shows that unlike the SBM model, ASBM can be adapted to the preference of the decision maker by selecting the weights to aggregate stages in the network.
