Abstract :
Several independent variables that are likely to influence performance significantly on nondestructive testing tasks are considered. These include task, procedural, training, and environment variables. Given the general need to assess the efficacy of maintenance systems, an analysis of data in relative operator characteristic terms is advocated. Some future research needs in this area of maintenance are identified.<>
