    The document discusses learning curves and how they can be used to estimate the time it takes to complete subsequent tasks based on the time to complete an initial task. Specifically, it provides two examples where the time for an initial machine setup was 200 minutes. For the second setup, using a 80% cumulative average-time learning curve model estimates it will take 120 minutes, while an 80% incremental unit-time learning model estimates it will take 160 minutes.

    1. To complete the first setup on a new machine took an employee 200 minutes.

    Using
    an 80% cumulative average-time learning curve indicates that the second setup on the
    new machine is expected to take:
    a. 160 minutes
    b. 120 minutes
    c. 80 minutes
    d. 60 minutes

    Answer: b Difficulty: 3 Objective: 7


    Terms to Learn: learning curve, cumulative average-time learning model 200
    x .80 = 160; (200 + X)/2 = 160; X = 120 minutes

    2. To complete the first setup on a new machine took an employee 200 minutes. Using
    an 80% incremental unit-time learning model indicates that the second setup on the
    new machine is expected to take:
    a. 160 minutes
    b. 120 minutes
    c. 80 minutes
    d. 60 minutes

    Answer: a Difficulty: 2 Objective: 7


    Terms to Learn: learning curve, incremental unit-time learning model
    200 x .80 = 160 minutes
