A learning curve describes

the amount of production time per unit as the total

Correct number of units produced increases.
Answer:

Limitations of the learning-curve approach include

learning curves must be redeveloped whenever the product

Your or production process is modified.
Answer:

Another name for the learning curve is a(n)

Correct Answer: experience curve

Which of the following statements about learning curve rates

is inaccurate?

Learning curves show that the time saved in completing

Correct each subsequent unit increases.
Answer:

If the first unit took 75 hours to produce, and you have determined that an
80% learning curve is appropriate, how long will it take to produce the
fourth unit?

48 hours
Correct
Answer:

Answer:

Worker 1 has an 80% learning curve and assembles his first item in 12
hours. Worker 2 has a 90% learning curve and assembles his first item in 8
hours. If they both continue assembling units and the learning curve is not
disrupted, at what number unit will Worker 1 be faster?

the eleventh unit

Correct
Answer:

An industrial engineer uses a stopwatch that is 10% slow to time workers

doing a basic assembly task. Based on these times, he determines their
learning curve. Which of the following statements best describes this
situation?

A schedule to build 25 units based on these calculations

Correct will have 10% too much time built into it.
Answer:

A learning curve usually follows a

negative exponential distribution.

Correct Answer:
