Dear Usman,
In 360 degree performance appraisal system, evaluation is first done by the employee himself. He needs to rate and self appraise as in terms of his Job knowledge, Quality of Work and Professional conduct which is further evaluated by his immediate supervisor apraiser and then reviwer reviews the entire excercise. Along with that you can select a group of people that includes co -workers, suborinates and team members who can evaluate the employee. We are using the same system in our organisation.
All the Best.

Usman, good day. Hope this note finds all things going well with you.
I have not heard of a 180 degree performance appraisal but have heard of a 360. For the most part they have been used in the IT field. Some hospitality organizations are just beginning to use them.
What I know about 360 is this (from research):
In human resources or industrial/organizational psychology, 360-degree feedback, also known as "multi-rater feedback," "multisource feedback," or "multisource assessment," is feedback that comes from all around an employee. "360" refers to the 360 degrees in a circle, with an individual figuratively in the center of the circle. Feedback is provided by subordinates, peers, and supervisors. It also includes a self-assessment and, in some cases, feedback from external sources such as customers and suppliers or other interested stakeholders. It may be contrasted with "upward feedback," where managers are given feedback by their direct reports, or a "traditional performance appraisal," where the employees are most often reviewed only by their managers.
The results from 360-degree feedback are often used by the person receiving the feedback to plan their training and development. Results are also used by some organizations in making administrative decisions, such as pay or promotion. When this is the case, the 360 assessment is for evaluation purposes, and is sometimes called a "360-degree review." However, there is a great deal of controversy as to whether 360-degree feedback should be used exclusively for development purposes, or should be used for appraisal purposes as well. There is also controversy regarding whether 360-degree feedback improves employee performance, and it has even been suggested that it may decrease shareholder value.
A study on the patterns of rater accuracy shows that length of time that a rater has known the person being rated has the most significant effect on the accuracy of a 360-degree review. The study shows that subjects in the group “known for one to three years” are the most accurate, followed by “known for less than one year,” followed by “known for three to five years” and the least accurate being “known for more than five years.” The study concludes that the most accurate ratings come from knowing the person long enough to get past first impressions, but not so long as to begin to generalize favorably.
It has been suggested that multi-rater assessments often generate conflicting opinions, and that there may be no way to determine whose feedback is accurate. Studies have also indicated that self-ratings are generally significantly higher than the ratings of others.
Hope that this information is useful.
Be well and the best to your family
