In your own words, describe self-paced, technology-based learning. Next, explain the benefits and drawbacks of this training method. Finally, describe 2 training topics that this teaching method would be best used for and explain why.

Hi, I need help solving this OM problem. Thank you!

A manufacturer of diesel locomotives needs 50,000 hours to produce the first unit. Based on past experience with similar products, the rate of learning is 80 percent. a. Use the logarithmic model to estimate the direct labor required for the 40th diesel locomotive and the cumulative average number of labor hours per unit for the first 40 units. b. Draw a learning curve for this situation.

Your work for Double 9 Enterprises involves the manufacture of new magnesium parts for a particulate capture system. No matter the changes you make, your learning curve is standard at 89% because you do a good job at employee retention and most have been with the company for many years. You typically reach steady state by the 37th unit within the first 120 hours of the production run. Your new process has an estimated 96% learning curve, but it is producing at a much faster rate than expected. With steady state being reached now for the 29th unit in 99 hours, what is your estimated time for the 1st unit in this run in hours?

Manceville Air has just produced the first unit of a large industrial compressor that incorporated new technology in the control circuits and a new internal venting system. The first unit took 116 hours of labor to manufacture. The company knows from past experience that this labor content will decrease significantly as more units are produced. In reviewing past production​ data, it appears that the company has experienced a 80​% learning curve when producing similar designs. The company is interested in estimating the total time to complete the next 7 units. Your job as the production cost estimator is to prepare the estimate. Refer to table below:   ​80% ​80% 85% Unit Number​ (N) Unit Time Total Time Unit Time 85% Total Time 90% Unit Time 90% Total Time 8 .512 5.346 .614 5.936 .729 6.574   Total manufacturing time for​ the= Manufacturing time for the last 7 units​ (i.e., units 2 thru​ 8)=

McDonald's, the fast-food restaurant, is known for high employee turnover, high quality, and low costs. Using your knowledge of the learning phenomenon, how does McDonald's get high quality and low costs when it has so much employee turnover?

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

In your words define Goals, Objectives, and Outcomes and explain why each is important to designing learning experiences.  Thanks in advance!

Your company has received an order for 20 units of a product. Th e labor cost to produce the item is $9.50 per hour. The setup cost for the item is $60 and material costs are $25 per unit. The item is sold for $92. Th e learning rate is 80 percent. Overhead is assessed at a rate of 55 percent of unit labor cost.(a) Determine the average unit cost for the 20 units if the firstunit takes four hours.(b) Determine the minimum number of units that need to bemade before the selling price meets or exceeds the averageunit cost.
