1. A method for monitoring performance of at least one machine operator, said method including the steps of:

  • measuring at least one machine parameter during operation of the machine by the operator, said at least one machine parameter related to the operation of the machine by the at least one machine operator;

    segmenting at least one machine parameter that is a dependent machine parameter into segments where at least one dependent machine parameter exists, the range of each segment constituting a segmentation resolution;

    generating at least one performance indicator distribution from measurements of the at least one machine parameter, said at least one performance indicator distribution comprising a range of values for a performance indicator derived from said at least one machine parameter;

    calculating at least one performance indicator for the at least one machine operator from the at least one performance indicator distribution;

    displaying the calculated performance indicator; and

    monitoring the performance of the at least one machine operator using the at least one calculated performance indicator.
