The use of performance measures on individual examiners in inspection schemes.

The paper is a summary of the more common measures that have been used, or suggested for use, in industry. A list of advantages and disadvantages for each measure is given, to indicate its value. Some general criteria for selecting a measure, and methods for obtaining the measure, are considered.
