“…Bonesronning and Rattso used Jackknifing in their analysis, they ran DEA 34 times and dropped off one DMU every time. 32 Mostafa used Jackknifing to test the stability of its study on the US specialty retailers and food consumer stores, but it's quite different from the research of Bonesronning and Rattso for he only dropped the efficient units that construct the frontier. In our research, we adopt the method of Mostafa.…”

The apparel industries are composed of a series of interrelated industries from the manufacturing of fibre and fabric to apparel and ultimately the distributor and retailer that connect the final consumers. This is often referred to as the textile/apparel pipeline. 1 Firms in apparel industries often involved in two stages in the textile/ apparel supply chain, namely apparel production and retailing. The performance depends heavily on the efficiency of costing and retailing. 2 Production cost has been an important factor in the pricing of apparels. However, this has changed as the operating cost increased significantly proportionally over the years. 3,4 Trend of distribution in apparel industry Traditionally, apparel manufacturers distribute their products in three ways, some do their own retailing, some distribute to other retailers, and some sell to distributors. 5 Manufacturers held a powerful position in distribution channels as they possess the source innovations up until the mid-1960s. 1 Changes have taken place as retailers began to source from a large number of manufacturers and geographical locations. 3 Apparel companies began to establish retail divisions and sell items by themselves. 6 As such kind of stores dedicated to a single brand, apparel corporates can control over branding and merchandising and highlight its own merchandise, and without worrying about competing labels. 3 The basic competition between the apparel companies has gone beyond production to the management of retailing activities. 1,7 Global apparel retailer Retailer plays more and more important role in our social life. Wal-Mart revolutionized manufacturer-retailer relationships, eliminated considerable costs in the value chain. When we referred to the Sears, the customers can call in mind with a great deal of items rather than the brand names of the items sold. Literature review and theoretical framework Productivity is originally used in the manufacturing process, 13 it is defined as a ratio of output to input, a higher ratio of measured

“…The results revealed that shop age has a positive significant influence on bookshop efficiency, whereas manager experience, staff experience, and the education level of the shop manager do not. Gandhi and Shankar [15] studied the determinants of efficiency in 18 Indian retailers. The results showed that the number of retail outlets and M&A can be considered the driving forces influencing efficiency.…”

“…Sales revenue was used as an output variable in all previous studies [1,[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] and is one of the most important KPIs in most companies. In this study, the daily average sales revenue was used.…”

“…There have been several studies on efficiency in the retail industry using DEA, which can be divided into two types. One is measuring efficiency using DEA and discussing the results [1,[3][4][5][6][7][8][9], and the other is measuring efficiency using DEA and then analyzing factors that affect the results [10][11][12][13][14][15]. Previous studies on intra-chain comparative store efficiency mostly follow the former case [1,3,[5][6][7][8][9] and only a few studies have analyzed the factors of efficiency [4,14].…”

In today's low-growth business environment, efficiency management is becoming more important to improve corporate sustainability. In a chain store, the efficiency of individual stores must be well managed to improve the efficiency of the entire enterprise. To do this, it is important to measure the efficiency of individual stores and to find factors that affect efficiency. The main purpose of this study is to find out the factors affecting the efficiency of chain stores and to analyze the results to find out the implications that contribute to an improvement in efficiency. We measured the relative efficiency of individual stores using data envelopment analysis (DEA) and analyzed the factors that affect efficiency with the Tobit regression model. As a result, we found that the number of items per employee and a competitive environment influence the efficiency of stores. An excessive number of items may cause efficiency to be lowered. Therefore, it is necessary to manage the life cycle of the product, considering the trade-off between assortment and efficiency. Competition helps to improve efficiency to some extent, but too much competition can reduce efficiency.

In today's business environment, as the competitiveness becomes increasingly fierce, improving the business performance becomes more important. A major factor affecting business operations is distribution systems performance control. In a distribution network, if an independent point well manages its performance, the efficiency of the entire enterprise will improve. In order to do this, it is essential to evaluate the effectiveness of each distribution point. However, at present, this evaluation is usually based on experience or only a few indicators such as revenue or profit. The effectiveness of a distribution point should be simultaneously considered for sales with resources used such as costs, manpower or business market characteristics such as the number of similar stores within 4 kilometers radius... Therefore, DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) method is proposed and used to evaluate the performance of independent distribution points and analyze the factors that affect efficiency by the Tobit regression model. This model was tested for a food distribution system in Ho Chi Minh City to prove its feasibility and usefulness.
