Quantification of Non-Quantitative Indicators of Performance Measurement

Quantification of non-quantitative indicators is a key point of the performance measurement. In practice, the non- quantitative indicators are appraised by experts according to some criteria and are scored with the method of weighted average. The paper clarifies the importance of the quantification of non-quantitative indicators and proves out the scientific rigor of weighted average method with mathematical derivation.
