ONLINE 1. Beth Zion Hospital has received initial transplants. The hospital, however, must complete its first 18 transplants under great scrutiny and at no cost to the patients. The very first transplant, just completed, required 28 hours. On the basis of research at the hospital, Beth Zion estimates that it will have an 80% learning curve. Using TableE3, estimate the time it will take to complete: from the state of Calfomia to become a center for liver a) the 5th transplant b) the first 5 transplants c) the 18th transplant d) the first 18 hours (round your response to two decimal places). hours (round your response to two decimal places). hours (round your response to two decimal places). hours (round your response to two decimal places). transplants 1: Learning Curve Coefficients 75% 80% 85% Unit Time 596 394 Total Time 4.031 11.405 Unit Time Unit Time 513 301 Total Time 3.459 8.245 Total Time 3.738 9.716 Unit Number 18Explanation / Answer
Time for nth unit = Time for 1st unit*Unit time factor
Total time till nth unit = Time for 1st unit*Total time factor
a) Time for 5th unit = Time for 1st unit*Unit time factor for 5th unit
From table 80%, unit time factor for 5th unit = 0.596
= 28*0.596 = 16.69 hours
b) Total time for 5 units = 28*3.378 = 94.58 hours
c) Time for 18th unit = 28*0.394 = 11.03 hours
d) Total time for 18 units = 28*9.716 = 272.05
