Abstract: Current efficiency models have not been used to measure efficiency of projects conducted within an organization. Thus, the study aims to develop an efficiency model based on projects undertaken within an organization using non-parametric approach, specifically data envelopment analysis. In-Fusion Solutions Sdn. Bhd. (ISSB) was chosen as the case study and data were collected from primary and secondary sources. Primary data were obtained through interviews conducted with personnel from the main office and the company branch in Chennai, India. Secondary data were obtained from published and unpublished documents. Secondary data consisted of thirty-nine completed projects. The data used were of three inputs and an output namely labor cost, material cost, project duration, and project contract value, respectively. Experimental result was able to identify efficient and inefficient projects. Results obtained showed that there were three (3) efficient projects and !
the remaining projects were otherwise. Improvements for the inefficient projects were suggested based on input and output orientation.
