In today's world, enterprises need to increase their efficiency and productivity, the values of which, if below market conditions, they need to raise. Data Envelopment Analysis, widely utilized in efficiency and productivity measurements is a method that measures the efficiency of one unit relatively, taking more than one input determines the efficiency of units with similar inputs and outputs and output simultaneously. DEA interactively Thus, not only the efficient units are determined, but an opinion is offered as to how the inefficient units can be improved. In this study, 12 enterprises that were among the first 500 enterprises in Turkey in 2008, active in Istanbul Stock Exchange and operating in food sector through Data Envelopment Analysis. In the model, activity rates were used as input values, rantability rates were used as output values. In conclusion of simultaneous analysis of input and output values, efficient and inefficient enterprises were determined.展开更多

Animal identification and traceability systems have seen rapid development in the world's main livestock producing nations and have been recognised by the main food, health and livestock trading authorities. The benefit of this system affects all the participants in the food chain (farm to fork) by limiting the spread of animal disease, assuring food safety and quality, minimizing the potential trade loss and minimizing government control. Electronic identification (EID) is one of the main technologies adopted, whereby each individual animal is identified and traced through a unique identification number saved on an electronic transponder (eartag or bolus). The present animal identification and registration system in Turkey does not use an electronic identification tool and is administered manually which often causes unreliable and incorrect results. Concerns for animal and human health, as well as food safety assurance, have motivated efforts in Turkey to intensify animal identification system. This paper has provided the basis for how animals can be accurately traced and monitored from their birth until their slaughter, tracking every single parameter that could be of interest: animal health history, disease control, milk/meat/wool production and nutrition. This study summarizes information on EID available from around the world, discusses the advantages and challenges in its application in Turkey and provides recommendations as to the systems suitability to upgrade the present status of the Turkish National Livestock Identification System.展开更多
