The fact that meeting the rapidly increasing requirements of population and having a flexible and compatible structure in viewof the improving technologies plays an important role in the meaning of making progress in the so-called sectors and catching thecertain stability level in the under-developed and developing countries.Non-Metallic mineral products sector and Fabricated metal products, machinery and equipment sector, which are the subbranchesof production industry, substantially show parallelism with the improvements in construction and white goods sectors inrecent years. Especially, cement sector involved in non-metallic mineral products sector is affected by the improvements inconstruction sector to a great extent ( Pala; 2006: 1). Because of the fierce competition in the so-called sector; it is observed thatthe domestic and foreign cement prices come down. So several operations are being conducted in order for retrieving thissituation and minimizing the fuel and energy expenses ( Pala; 2006: 3). According to the export data of 2010 in Turkey; it is seenthat the total export in automotive industry, which is 113,7 billion dollars, takes a 15 percent share and comes first among theother industries (T M, bt:1). This situation shows that both production and financial performance should be measured by somedifferent methods so as to look through more comprehensive vision. For this reason, in this study we tried to determine theefficiencies and to make performance evaluations of twenty six companies operating in Non-Metallic Mineral Products sector andtwenty eight companies operating in Fabricated Metal Products, Machinery and Equipment sector by applying both DEA andTOPSIS methods for 2008-2010 period. DEA-Solver-LV is used for DEA in efficiency measurement and TOPSIS Sannaprogramme is used for TOPSIS in performance evaluation.In 1957, Farrell firstly maintained the idea that a model appropriate for applying on whole economy from a single sector, thatis, in measuring efficiency of a concept, efficiency can fall to pieces in its inside (Eken ve Kale, 2011: 889-901). Then, in 1978; astudy was conducted by Charnes, Cooper and Rhades in measuring the efficiency of decision making units and the model whichFarrell suggested was termed as Data Envelopment Analysis(Ebnerasoul ve Yavarian, 2009: 42-48). Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) is a field of study combining Operational Research, Management Science and Econometrics. This method gains moreimportance day by day in measuring and increasing the efficiency of production and service activities. It is observed th
