Using Data Envelopment Analysis for Measuring the Efficiency of Water Bottling Distributors

Uğur Arcagök

The purpose of this research is to assess the efficiency and productivity of 51 water bottling distributors based on DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) approaches that were evaluated between 2012 and 2013, as per 5 variables, these being sales, staff, distance, size, and capex. We got different results from the initial assumptions after the analysis. Big cities distributors’ efficiencies are better than the small cities and town distributors. The time period was selected because of the global conflict, war in Syria, Turkish government policies, accepting the war refugees and the other reasons, natural and environmental. According to the research results, some suggestions have been made for the managers of the distributors.

Veri Zarflama Analizini Yöntemi Kullanarak Su Distribütörlerinin Etkinliğinin Ölçümlenmesi

Uğur Arcagök

Bu araştırmanın amacı, bir su fabrikasının 51 tane dağıtıcısının 2012 ve 2013 yılları arasındaki verilerini 5 farklı değişken (satışlar, personel sayısı, firma ile dağıtıcı arasındaki uzaklık, depo büyüklüğü ve diğer kuruluş maliyetleri) yardımıyla Veri Zarflama Analizi yöntemi (VZA) kullanarak dağıtıcıların etkinliğini ve verimliliği değerlendirmektir. Analizden sonra ilk varsayımlardan farklı sonuçlar aldık. Büyük şehirlerin distribütörlerinin verimliliği küçük şehirlerden ve kasaba distribütörlerinden daha iyi olduğu sonucuna varıldı. Küresel çatışma, Suriye’deki savaş, Türk hükümeti politikaları, savaş mültecilerini kabul etme ve diğer doğal ve çevresel nedenlerden dolayı 2012 ve 2013 yılları seçildi. Analiz sonuçlarına göre dağıtıcıların yöneticilerine etkinliklerini ve verimliliklerini artırıcı bazı önerilerde bulunuldu.
