The obtained findings were revealed the ranks values around 2.88, 3.86, 1.74, 1.52 and 5 for number of employees, power, water and fuel consumed and land area applied using Friedman test analysis. The t-test analysis revealed a significant difference among parameters such as feed, initial feed, employees, power, water, fuel and land area used (p value ≤ 0.000 and 0.009) for 21 IPI. Further analysis was conducted by Chi-Square and one-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests in the following with Null hypothesis. Based on obtained values was developed a diagram of weights values for industries individually.
