Summary Introduction
To determine: The time taken to produce the 10th Boeing 787.
Introduction:
Learning curve:
Learning curve is based on the premise that when a person is repeating a task or job again and again, the performance of the person on that job or task will improve. It will depict relationship between cost and output over a definitive period of time.
