A time standard was set at 5.50 hours per unit based on the 100th unit produced (i.e. ). If the task follows a 90 percent learning curve, what would the expected time be for the 200th, 300th, and 400 the units? (you need to start with the book’s method using the tables to find the learning rate)

Answer #1

Time for nth unit = Time for 1st unit*Unit time factor

Time for 100th unit = Time for 1st unit*Unit time factor for 100th unit

From table 90%, unit time factor for 100th unit = 0.4966

5.5 = Time for 1st unit*0.4966

Time for 1st unit = 11.08 hours

Time for 200th unit = 11.08*0.4469 = 4.95 hours

Time for 300th unit = 11.08*0.4202 = 4.65 hours

Time for 400th unit = 11.08*0.4022 = 4.45 hours
