The main objective of this study is to use the Euclidean Distance for designing financial and economic evaluation indicators. The Euclidean Distances are calculated from financial ratios and economic co-efficients. The distances are ordered for getting partial and total indicators. These indicators are used to evaluate the efficiency of industrial sector activities in Saudi Arabia.

On the other hand, total composite indicators are designed to evaluate financial, economic and global efficiency in industrial sector activities.
