description The purpose of this research is to assess the efficiency and productivity of 51 water bottling distributors based on DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) approaches that were evaluated between 2012 and 2013, as per 5 variables, these being sales, staff, distance, size, and capex. We got different results from the initial assumptions after the analysis. Big cities distributors’ efficiencies are better than the small cities and town distributors. The time period was selected because of the global conflict, war in Syria, Turkish government policies, accepting the war refugees and the other reasons, natural and environmental. According to the research results, some suggestions have been made for the managers of the distributors.
