Summary/Abstract: Efficiency is a concept related to the usage of the resources. Firms transform their resources (inputs) into new products or services (outputs) by using a process. In this transformation process the firms would take cost advantage by knowing how efficient the reources are used. In this study a textile firm operating in the Aegean Region was taken and the efficiency level of this manufacturing firm was tried to be determined by using DEA methodology. In this context, efficiency measurement of the firms in the past sixteen years was made with the aim of specifying the level of resource usage in each year. Each year was taken as a decision making unit and the inputs and outputs were determined suitably with the production process of the firm. As a result of the efficiency measurement it was found that in which years the firm was efficient and in which years it was inefficient. It was thought that the findings of this study could be helpful for the management of the firm concerning the use of the resources. Furthermore, limitations of the study and future research directions were discussed.
