Chicken broiler is the main commodities  and largest in Indonesia, where Kampar district into production centre in the province of Riau. According to the company's partners, breeder who partnered with the pattern contract farming hasn't been able to combine the use of livestock production facilities as well as labor. This resulted in not maximizing the profits obtained by breeders. The purpose of the research was to analyze broiler chicken farming and analyze the efficiency of broiler chicken production. Analytical method used is the analysis method of broiler chicken flocks and the DEA method. Respondents needed is 40 farmers who have partnered with the contract farming pattern. The results showed that the production costs of Rp.180.031.229 /period, revenue Rp.203.573.865/period, so that the profit amounting to Rp 23.542.636/period with R/C ratio of 1.13. The results of the efficiency analysis show that inefficient farmers are more numerous than those who have been efficient. It showed breeders hasn't been able to use the minimum input produce output that is optimal and maximum profit.

The study was conducted in Xuan Thuy National Park to provide a comparative assessment of different farming systems under the context of the coastal zone development of Vietnam. Based on a sample of 234 farmers in this area, SCP (Structure–Conduct–Performance) analysis revealed three farming systems: integrated aquaculture–mangrove (IAM), intensive shrimp (ISH), and rice-based (RB) farming. The evaluation of farm performance among the systems indicated that ISH incurred the highest values of variable cost and sustainable family income. Meanwhile, IAM obtained the lowest production cost due to the availability of allocated natural resources. The imbalance of applying synthesized fertilizers and an overdependence on nitro-based fertilizers were reported in the case of RB systems. In comparison with the other coastal areas of Vietnam, these farming systems achieved a lower level of production efficiency. It is urgent for policy makers to take action to promote sustainable farming practices in accordance with the stringent enforcement of environmental standards to reduce potential impacts and strengthen the coexistence of systems. Additionally, the purpose of securing rural livelihood under coastal development is aligned with the recommended solutions for economic improvement in this study.

The automotive industry has lately been undergoing major changes having a considerable impact on the whole vehicle sector. This does not only refer to what is technologically new on vehicles themselves, but also to the new modern management methods, frequently associated with the Industry 4.0 concept. As well as other companies, car factories are pushing their costs downwards to increase their production efficiency. This paper analyses the economic situation of 5 car manufacturers, two of which having their factories in the Czech Republic and three in Germany. The task was to ascertain efficiency of individual companies in order to propose possible improvements. To do this, the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) for two models (CCR - model based on Charnes, Cooper & Rhodes and BCC - model based on Banker, Charnes & Cooper) was used. The BCC model was found to be more applicable to the established efficiencies, than the CCR one.

The paper focuses on the poultry meat production efficiency analysis methods. In the poultry meat production procedure, the randomness is strong due to the various complex factors in the poultry meat production which will reduce the production efficiency. In order to avoid the defects of the traditional algorithms, the paper proposes the poultry meat production efficiency analysis method based on RBF neural network algorithm. The effect factors in the poultry meat production will be sifted as the basic data for production efficiency analysis. The RBF neural network model is built and the output results are used to analyze the poultry meat production efficiency with intelligent devices. The experiment results illustrate the improved algorithm can increase the poultry meat production efficiency.

The paper analyses 4 printing technological flow cases, considering the author’s experience (over 15 years) in the printing industry to improve the production efficiency. The productivity, the quality and the delivery time are the main areas of interest for people working in the printing & finishing industry, where the print demand structure evolved and the costs of replacing machines are very high. The implementation of the organisational and reconfiguration of machines changes contribute to the development of new efficient working structures within the printing process, therefore increasing the efficiency of it, as one can notice from the diagrams presented in the paper. The time and the costs presented have been obtained through a couple of trials of modifying the work parameters, the colour and the materials according to the colour management guidelines in use. Ultimately the optimal technological structure has been chosen for quality improvement, cost and delivery time reduction.
