The role of Taiwan’s IT industry is irreplaceable and the capability of mass production is strong; even the notebook computer industry that has been famous for OEM is no exception. The operation mode of our domestic manufacturers is mostly based on professional OEM, very few of them have got into the market with own brands; therefore, the profit-making margin is much restricted due to the global competition on price. As a result, the only way of survival for the manufacturers and firms is to upgrade the operation efficiency. The objective of this study is to apply DEA on measuring the operation efficiency of the manufacturers, also, to estimate the operation efficiency standard of different manufacturers, and to find the improvement direction and numerical data so as to achieve the most appropriate scale. Further, to apply Tobit regression mode to investigate the relations between financial rate and operation efficiency as a reference as operation direction and upgrading the operation efficiency of the manufacturers in the future. The duration of this study is from the first quarter of 2003 up to second quarter of 2005 for total ten quarters, when nine notebook computer manufacturers were selected as study objects. The following results are obtained through practical evidence and analysis: 1. The average overall efficiency of every manufacturer being evaluated is 0.551; i.e. there is 44.49% of the resources have been wasted without making any profit. 2. The overall no efficiency was mainly due to the scale of the industry had no efficiency, which was because most manufacturers were at the stage that the scale rewards are gradually increasing. 3. On overall efficiency aspect, the result indicated the business income rate and surplus of each share presented positive relations, while the investment rate showed no significant relations. 4. On scale efficiency aspect, the result indicated the surplus of each share presented positive relations; and the business income rate and the investment rate showed no significant relations, this meant if the manufacturers can make good use of the resources, the surplus shall increase relatively.
