Summary Introduction
To determine: The time taken for the 100th unit.
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.

Girish Shambu and Delores Reisel are teammates at a discount store; their new job is assembling bicycles for
customers. Assembly of a bike has a learning rate of 80%. They forgot to time their effort on the first bike, but st
5 hours on the second. They have 6 more bikes to do. Determine approximately how much time will be (was)
required for:
a) The 1st unit = 6.25 hours (round your response to two decimal places).
b) The 8th unit = 3.20 hours (round your response to two decimal places).
c) The total amount of hours to build the 8 units =
hours (round your response to two decimal places).

They have concluded that on average the process takes 27 minutes. However they want to incorporate the performance of the workers and allowance time on this observed value. They think the people they observed was somehow slow, hence they want to use a performance rate of 0.93 and they also want to allow 10% (allow=0.1) of job time. Based on these parameters please calculate the normal and standard time estimates for this process.arrow_forwardElizabeth Perry, a student at SUNY, bought 6 bookcases for her dorm room.
