Richard​ Dulski's firm is about to bid on a new radar system. Although the product uses new​ technology, Dulski believes that a learning rate of 90​% is appropriate. The first unit is expected to take 780 ​hours, and the contract is for 14 units. ​a) The total amount of hours to build the 14 units​ = hours​ (round your response to the nearest whole​ number).

It takes Boeing 27,400 hours to produce the eighth 787 jet. The learning factor is 75%. Time required for the production of the twelfth 787: hours 12th unit time (round your response to the nearest whole number).

Kelly-Lambing, Inc., a builder of government contracted small ships, has a steady work force of 10 very skilled craftspeople. These workers can supply 2,440 labor-hours each per year. Kelly-Lambing is about to undertake a new contract, building a new style of boat. The first boat is expected to take 6,100 hours to complete. The firm thinks that 75% is the expected learning rate. What is the firm's "capacity" to make these boats-that is, how many units can the firm make in 1 year? If the operations manager can increase the learning rate to 70% instead of 75%, how many units can the firm make? (Round all numerical responses in this exercise to the nearest whole number.) Total time available = 24400 hours. Number of Boats 4 5 6 8 Total Time 75% Learning Rate 17971 21099 23999 26719 29292 a) Number of boats completed with 75% learning rate = 6. Total Time 70% Learning Rate 16824 19489 21915 24156 26248 b) Number of boats completed with 70% learning rate=

Although the learning curve never completely levels off to a horizontal line, if work standards are to be developed, there must be a point at which, for all practical purposes, learning is said to be have stoppped. If we have an 80 percent learning curve and say that the learning effect will be masked by other variables when the improvement in successive units is less than 0.5 percent, at about what unit number can the standard be set?
