In order to overcome the disadvantages of traditional approach, we apply DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) method to construct a model to analyze the cost efficiency of the ten listed shipping companies in Taiwan. The samples include input and output data of these shipping companies from 2000 to 2005. In this study, we find the solutions of CCR efficiency, which can be divided into pure technical efficiency (BCC efficiency) and scale efficiency. Besides the comparison of these efficiencies and the discussion about related content, the study also performs multiplier analysis, slack analysis, and sensitivity analysis. We also provide some further way to improve the model. As a whole, the capital expenditure should be the first input item that needs to be reduced. In addition, the shipping companies can downsize workforce by reduced and automatic operation. Comparing the profitability and operating efficiency suggests that if we want to use operation efficiency to explain profitability, we should choose the input and output variable that is directly related to the cost and revenue.
