Cost efficiency in which cost coefficients are given for some inputs (cost coefficients can be different for disparate decision-making units (DMUs)) is one of the most important concepts in data envelopment analysis (DEA) to analyze the performance. Moreover, in some occasions, the cost performance and changes of input measures should be addressed while the convexity property is violated. Therefore, in this paper, first a DEA model is provided to assess cost efficiency based on the free disposal hull (FDH) model. Then, by considering cost and technical efficiencies achieved, a multi-objective problem called the inverse FDH cost model is presented to determine input values based on output changes while the cost and technical efficiency levels are preserved. The multi-objective problem is computed applying two approaches. Also, a dataset from the literature is presented to show the performance of the proposed method. For this purpose, we used the data of six banks in different countries. We added 2% to the outputs and analyzed the inputs with two models. In the first model, we used cost coefficients for weights, and in the second model, we used the same weights. Contrary to forecasts, some entries have decreased and others have increased. But from the results, we have noticed that the first model is more realistic because most of the solutions have increased in this model.
