In practice, outputs of DMUs may be generated consecutively, and targets of posterior outputs may need to be adjusted to keep a DMU efficient when the anterior output cannot reach the previously set output target. The proposed method determines a compensation rate among consecutive outputs, which is applied to keep a DMU efficient when the decrease of an anterior output exceeds its stability region. This compensation analysis is also extended to consecutive inputs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sufficient and necessary conditions for preserving efficiency upon output compensation are presented.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>The compensation analysis when multiple anterior outputs decrease from their previously set targets is the main limitation, and needs further investigation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>The paper is a useful method for decision maker to set target consecutively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>The paper defines a new target setting (adjusting) problem, in which targets of posterior outputs may need to be adjusted to keep a DMU efficient if an anterior output of the DMU decreases from its previously set target.
