A learning curve of 80% assumes that direct labor costs are reduced by 25% for each doubling of output. What is the cost of the sixteenth unit produced?
If the first unit of a product took 25 minutes to produce and the learning curve rate is 80%, how much time will the production of the 100th unit take?
Find the average time per unit required to produce the first 29 units, if the slope parameter of the learning rate is 88% and the first unit takes 445 hours.

- The most important factor(s) effecting the learning curve rate include(s): Select one: A. Complexity of the task B. Percentage of mechanical input C. Percentage of human input D. Only A and C Yield management, also known as revenue management is the amount of output of acceptable quality emerging from a production system compared with the amount that entered it. Select one: True False Obtaining lower unit costs through the use of larger facilities is called economies of scope. Select one: True False It is not unusual for fire departments to use “slack months” for building inspections, conducting prevention programs and giving talks as a way to have anticyclic outputs. Select one: True False In addition to showing time schedules, Gantt charts can also be used for capacities of facilities, workers, jobs,activities, and so forth. Select one: True Falsearrow_forwardFor an 80% learning curve, if the 100th unit produced required 280 hours, how long will it take to produce the 400th unit? Show your calculations.arrow_forwardSuppose a manufacturer of copiers has concluded that a 70 percent learning curve applies to the time a beginning service technician takes to install copy machines. Use the Learning Curve Excel template to answer the following questions: If the time required to install the first copy machine is estimated to be five hours, what is an estimate of the time required by a new technician to install the second and third copiers? Round your answers to one decimal place. For x = 2 it takes hours For x = 3 it takes hours If the learning rate changes to 65 or 95 percent, what is an estimate of the time required by a new technician to install the second and third copiers? Round your answers to one decimal place. For x = 2 and a 65% LC, it takes hours For x = 3 and a 65% LC, it takes hours For x = 2 and a 95% LC, it takes hours For x = 3 and a 95% LC, it takes hoursarrow_forward

- You are asked to do a learning curve analysis as part of your internship project, but you discover that the data is pretty slim. Unfortunately you don't have time to do more field work and you have to come up with the best estimate based on the available data.
