Abstract :

Nowadays, human looks to tread a path towards optimized using of available resources, Therefore, due to the limitations of capital, time, location, energy, and so on, managers have sought scientific methods from the beginning to make the most of these constraints. one of the most important ways to achieve optimization is evaluating the performance of the Decision Making Units. The gool of this work is to evaluate the energy consumption in the Kohgiluyeh and Boyerahamd province industry considering the industries with 10 and more employees. As in the calculating of the energy efficiency, several outputs and inputs must be considered in form of the productiion function theory, the data envelopment analysis is used to calculate the energy efficiency in the industrial units. Then the results of the energy efficiency, existing barriers and the practical consideration will be explaiend. The results of the efficiency model show that the most important factor of the inefficiency of the province's industry is the large population of job seekers and is the lack of optimal utilization of the workforce in the province's industry.
