“…Variations in these values are directly caused by competition and lower prices of services and products, and thus lower profitability. The established technological progress corresponds to the results obtained in research on examples of other industries such as [45,46]. DMU 2 and DMU 3 do not change significantly since the ratio of efficiency in certain time intervals is 1.…”

In the last decade, more and more attention has been paid to the efficiency of logistics systems not only in the literature but also in practice. The reason is the huge savings that can be achieved. In a very dynamic market with environmental changes distribution centers have to realize their activities and processes in an efficient way. Distribution centers connect producers with other participants in the supply chain, including end-users. The main objective of this paper is to develop a DEA model for measuring distribution centers’ efficiency change in time. The paper investigates the impact of input and output variables selection on the resulting efficiency in the context of measuring the change in efficiency over time. The selection of variables on the one hand is a basic step in applying the DEA method. On the other hand, the number of basic and derived indicators that are monitored in real systems is increasing, while the percentage of those used in the decision-making process is decreasing (less than 20%). The developed model was tested on the example of a retail chain operating in Serbia. The main factors changing the efficiency have been identified, as well as the corresponding corrective actions. For measuring efficiency change in time Malmquist productivity index is used. The developed approach could help managers in the decision-making process and also represents a good basis for further research.

“…As a result of the study, the increase trend in the Chinese food sector productivity was negative (68.75%). Zrelli et al (2020) tried to calculate the total factor productivity of the Tunisian manufacturing industry between 2002-2016. In the study, output oriented Malmquist index is used as a method.…”

The main purpose of the study is the efficiency and productivity analysis of selected firms that operating in the Turkey food processing industry in 2015-2019 period. In the study, two variables, namely the equity of the firms and the number of paid employees, are used as input, while the net sales values of the firms are used as output. Estimates were made in two stages using the Data Envelopment Analysis method and the Malmquist index approach as a method. The technical efficiency results of the firms in the first stage showed that all firms except one firm operate below the optimal scale. The results of the Malmquist index in the second stage of the study showed that the technical efficiency changes of all firms increased in the examined period, and there was an increase in productivity in all firms except for three firms. However, technological development changes in most of the companies decreased in the period under consideration. According to the results, the decrease in technological change was determined as the important factor causing the decrease in productivity of these companies.
