State the approches to solve learning curve problems?
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?
State the application of learning curves?

- NUBD, is beginning the production of a new product. Management believes that 500 labor hours will be required to complete the new unit. An 85 percent incremental unit-time learning curve model for direct labor hours is assumed to be valid. Assume the q = -0.2345. What is the total hours for 3 units?arrow_forwardA contractor is preparing a bid to install swimming pools at a new housing addition. The estimated time to build the first pool is 38 hours. The contractor estimates an 80 percent learning rate. Using POM for Windows or OM Explorer, how long do you estimate the time required to install the sixth pool? The time required to install the sixth pool is enter your response herehours. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) Part 2 What is your estimate of the total time for all six pools?

When thecompany hires a new clerical employee, it takes that personabout 48 minutes to process a form. The learning curve forthis job is 88%, but no additional learning will take placeafter about the 100th form is processed. United Mutual hasrecently acquired a smaller competitor that will add 800new forms per week to its clerical pool. If an employeeworks six hours per day (excluding breaks, meals, and soon) per five-day week, how many employees would behired to absorb the extra workload?arrow_forward

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?arrow_forwardJericho Vehicles is considering making a bid for a mobilerocket-launching system for the U.S. military. However,the company has almost no experience in producing thistype of vehicle. In an effort to develop a learning curvefor the production of this new mobile weapon system, management has called contacts from several former com-petitors who went bankrupt. Although management could not obtain direct learning curve rates, they did learn fromone contact that for a system with similar features, the firstunit required 2400 hours of direct labor to produce and the 30th and final unit required 1450 hours to produce. Deter-mine the learning curve rate for this vehicle.arrow_forwardSally suspects strongly that there is a learning curve associated with solving problems assigned for operations management. She notes that it took her approximately 33 minutes to solve the first problem and 17 minutes to solve the fifth problem.

They will be built completely from scratch to the exact specifications used for the originals. As further authentication, the aircraft will be made using the technologyand manufacturing processes available when the originals were built. Each of the 16 airplanes will beflown to Air Force and aviation museums throughout the country for exhibition. Aviation enthusiastscan also visit the production facility to see exactly how such aircraft were built in 1938.Soren Industries wants to bid on the aircraft contract and asked for and received certain costinformation about the Four F Sixes from the Air Force. The information includes some of the oldcost data from the builders of the original aircraft. The available information is for the total accumulated time as the 1st, 8th, and 32nd aircraft, respectively, were completed.
