The main purpose of this publication was to try systemizing the efficiency per-formance with particular regard to technical efficiency and measurement methods, and to identify the problems in defining and measuring the existing problems. The paper presents definitions of efficiency by selected authors, the classification and characterization of vari-ous types of efficiency made with particular emphasis on technical efficiency, and the basic methods for testing the effectiveness of the division on the indicator parametric and para-metric detailing the different measurement methods. A detailed analysis of the non-parametric methods for testing the effectiveness of technical support is the DEA (Data En-velopment Analysis) method presented with the example of the procedure for calculation of relative efficiency. The study identifies various modifications of the DEA method and also signalled areas where this method can be used to measure the effectiveness of specific enti-ties. The main research method used in the present study was to review and analyze the lit-erature on the subject topic.
