Question

6. (2 points) A. The first unit of production take expected to be 80 percent. How long will it 2 hours to produce and the learning, te w long will it take to produce the fourth unit (2 points) B. If the learning rate is found to actua produce the fourth unit? found to actually be 70 percent, how long will it take to (2 points) C. Find the percent increase of expected rate of 80 percent from questi In words, state your findings from this calculat percent increase or decrease in time to produce the fourth unit under the question 6(A) to the actual rate of 10 percent in question 6(B). for each element were timed, as neen assigned for

Explanation / Answer

TN= T1 C

where

TN = number of labor-hours required to produce the Nth unit

T1 = number of labor-hours required to produce the first unit

C = learning-curve coefficient C = N (log of learning rate/log 2)

A)

T1 = 12 hours

Learning curve = 80%

T4 = 12* 4(log(0.8)/log(2))

T4 = 12*0.640 = 7.68hours

B)

T1 = 12 hours

Learning curve = 70%

T4 = 12* 4(log(0.7)/log(2))

T4 = 12*0.490 = 5.88 hours

C) % change = (7.68-5.88)/7.68 = 23.44%

There is decrease in 23.44%
