A high competitiveness comes from the market trends toward globalization and the use of new models of behaviour based on management knowledge. Therefore, it is important to make decisions in order to adapt to this changing and complex world. Organizations' leaders must seek customer satisfactionfollowing strategic planning to minimize costs, differentiate products and segmentcustomers.The objective of this work is to evaluate the efficiency in managing of a construction company in Resistencia, Chaco. The data used for the analysis were extracted from the balance sheets of ten periods of the studied company, obtained under confidential conditions.The methodology used was the case study, applying the Mathematical Model DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) and the ACP Statistics (Principal Component Analysis) model. First, we have considered the results arising from the application of DEA model on theoriginal data extracted from the financial statements of the company. Second, the data structure was modified by the principal components method obtained from the GPA model.Both analyses used the same inputs while the output was varied. The first case was the item "Total Result" and the second case, the item "Sales". The software used were: Frontier Analyst for the DEA and Statgraphics for the ACP.As a result of the application of these models, it was concluded that the company suffered loss of profitability (efficiency) steadily since 2007.The results were confirmed by the feedback from the directors of the company, who also stated that directly analysing the indicators of financial statements that actual loss of efficiency was not appreciated.
