Introduction:
Learning curve:
Learning curve is based on the premise that when a person is repeating a task or job again and again, the performance of the person on that job or task will improve. It will depict relationship between cost and output over a definitive period of time.

A great deal of learning on the part of management and employees was required. Even though pressure was mounting to get a new product to market in early 2012, the production manager of the newly formed automobile division insisted on almost a year of trial runs before sales started because workers have to do their jobs 60 to 100 times before they can memorize the right sequence.
