This article develops an alternative clerical performance measure for work submitted to acceptance sampling. The measure,“expected thruput,”appears more comprehensive than approaches based on either actual output, actual thruput, effective thruput or effective production. Expected thruput considers both an employee's production and quality levels. It also provides a curvilinear increase in credit for batches with linear increases in the sample effective proportion. The model is applicable to situations involving multiple jobs, variable batch sizes and different types of acceptance sampling plans.
