1
Q
Learning curve theory is based upon?
A
The rate of improvement has sufficient consistency to allow its use as a predictive tool.
2
Q
If a product is being manufactured on a 80% learning curve, and the time for building the 100th unit is 50 hours, then the time required to build the 200th unit should be?
A
40 hours
solve for T1, then solve for T200
3
Q
If the 400th unit is 60hours, and the 800th unit is 45 hours, then the learning curve is ______ percent.
A
75%. When production doubles you experience learning curve. so LC=45/60
4
Q
Which of the following is a valid source of experience for LC?
- Labor efficiency
- product redesign
- Worker incentives
- All of the above
A
all of the above
5
Q

- The learning curve does not continue forever
- Learning gained on one product cannot be transferred to another product.
- Cost data may not be available to construct a learning curve.
- All of the above

All of the above.
