<p>A method and an apparatus of the invention may evaluate the performance of an electric appliance by: providing within assembly lines a test line capable of operating the appliance in a simulation mode and measuring at least one physical quantity observable for the appliance in the simulation mode; automatically measuring the values of said physical quantity during said simulation mode a predetermined time after the start up of the simulation mode; and determining whether a currently measured value of the physical quantity falls within a first reference range having preset upper and lower limits until the number of the measurements reaches a first predetermined number, and, after the number of the measurements has reached said first predetermined number, whether the currently measured value falls within a second reference range which is calculated from a predetermined number of consecutive measurements that precede the current measurement. With this method, the manufacturing line may adequately incorporate a performance test line which may carry out required tests without interrupting assembly lines, thereby improving its production efficiency. <IMAGE></p> |
