On RainTite Window’s manual assembly line, a newemployee can usually assemble their first window unit in30 minutes. Management assumes a 90 percent learning rate.a. How long should a new employee take to assemble theirsecond window if management is correct in their assumption? How long should the 16th window take?b. On RainTite’s semi-automated line, a new employeetakes 45 minutes to assemble their first window; however,the learning rate is 75 percent. At how many windowsproduced will the semi-automated line’s employee takeless time to produce a window than an employee on themanual line?
Suad Alwan, the purchasing agent for Dubai Airlines, has determined that the second plane took 18,000 hours to produce. Using an 85% learning curve and a $35-per-hour labor charge, he wants to determine the cost of the six additional planes. Part 2 Time required for the sixth unit = 13900 hours (round your response to the nearest whole number). Part 3 Cost of the sixth unit = 486500 dollars (round your response to the nearest whole number). Part 4 Time required for the seventh unit = enter your response here hours (round your response to the nearest whole number). Part 5. Cost of the seventh unit?
Only typed explanation otherwise leave it United Research Associates (URA) had received a contract to produce two units of a new cruise missile guidance control. The first unit took 5,000 hours to complete and cost $30,000 in materials and equipment usage. The second took 3,750 hours and cost $19,500 in materials and equipment usage. Labor cost is charged at $25 per hour. The company expects “learning” to occur relative to labor and also the pricing of parts from suppliers. The prime contractor has now approached URA and asked to submit a bid for the cost of producing another 20 guidance controls. a. What will the last unit cost to build? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.) b. What will be the average time for the 20 missile guidance controls? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) c. What will the average cost be for guidance control for the 20 in the contract? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.)
Consider two processes, A and B, with an initial cost of c(1) = 20. Process A has alearning rate of LR = 0.95 and process B has a learning rate of LR = 0.8. After 20 units:a. process A is cheaper.b. process B is cheaper.c. the two processes will have the same cost.d. cannot be determined from the given information

Recently, the Polish General Corporation, well-known for manufacturing appliances and automobile parts, initiated a $13 billion project to produce automobiles. A great deal of learning on the part of management and employees was required. Even though pressure was mounting to get a new product to market in early 2012, the production manager of the newly formed automobile division insisted on almost a year of trial runs before sales started because workers have to do their jobs 60 to 100 times before they can memorize the right sequence. The launch date was set for early 2013. What are the consequences of using this approach to enter the market with a new product?

A little over two years ago, Avondale Industries acquired a company that produces a line of adhesives and sealants used in the aerospace industry. The acquisition was shortly followed by providing the best and brightest employees in the division with training every three months on topics selected by the group. A year later, the adhesives and sealants division developed a new sealant that lasts longer, is less expensive to produce, and is more effective in preventing the spread of fire or flames from the engine compartment to the airplane and preventing air leakage. The new product resulted in a sustainable competitive advantage in the market. Which of the following statements best explains how training contributed to the division’s new competitive advantage? The training gave the employees the opportunity to demonstrate their many skills and competencies to the company. The training taught the employees how to look at competitors’ products and determine how to make them…
