The study considers the semiconductor industry's business process to be made up of two stages. In the business development process, a company generates profit and consumes energy while polluting the environment. After the two-stage data envelopment analysis approach was employed for calculating the operational efficiency and environmental efficiency, social network analysis was used to compare the manner in which the internal advantages or individual process factors of 28 semiconductor companies contribute to efficiency. A network graph was plotted to visualize relationships, with each node in the network graph representing a company. This graph was plotted to help decision-makers and manufacturers understand information communication among companies and the importance of the company in the network and help companies develop a mutual understanding to improve operational efficiency. The results of the study indicated that having an efficient company does not necessarily mean that the company plays a key role in the entire industry. The results provide decision-makers with references for improvements and information for learning from these references. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
