Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the efficiencies of textile firms’ exports in Eskisehir Organized Industrial Zone during the period 2008-2009 by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA).  The study analyzes 5 firms as a decision making units by applying two DEA models (3 inputs-1 output CCR (Charnes, Cooper and Rhoders) models). The results show that Sarar Textile is efficient based on the two DEA models, while Buzlu Clothing, introducing export operations in 2008, is the most efficient in 2009. The study also finds that inefficient companies should decrease their production quantities whereas they have to increase the amounts of the export values.
