Based on Kolb's Learning Styles Inventory theory, which style would you use to train a new group of assistant managers in training? Justify your answer. When answering you must Explain what the selected learning style consists of. Justify your answer with an example.

The personnel manager of Powerwest Inc. want to estimate the direct and cumulative average direct labor hours for producing 30 locomotive train units during then next year. He estimates from past experience that the learning rate is 90 percent.  The production department estimate that manufacturing the first unit will take 30,000 hours. Each employee average 200 hours per month. The production rate forecast is as follows: Month Production Rate (units) Month Production Rate (units) January 2 July 2 February 3 August 4 March 2 September 3 April 4 October 3 May 3 November 1 June 2 December 1   How many direct hours are required to produce the 30th unit? How many total hours are needed to produce all 30 units? What is the maximum number of employees required next year? If the learning rate were to change to 0.85, what would be the impact on the total hours and the number of employees needed to product 30 units?

Make time estimates based on learning curves

Suppose a manufacturer of copiers has concluded that a 70 percent learning curve applies to the time a beginning service technician takes to install copy machines. Use the Learning Curve Excel template to answer the following questions:   If the time required to install the first copy machine is estimated to be five hours, what is an estimate of the time required by a new technician to install the second and third copiers? Round your answers to one decimal place. For x = 2 it takes    hours For x = 3 it takes    hours If the learning rate changes to 65 or 95 percent, what is an estimate of the time required by a new technician to install the second and third copiers? Round your answers to one decimal place. For x = 2 and a 65% LC, it takes    hours For x = 3 and a 65% LC, it takes    hours For x = 2 and a 95% LC, it takes    hours For x = 3 and a 95% LC, it takes    hours
