Time required to produce n units = K1 * nb
here
K1 = direct labor hours for the first unit
n = cumulative numbers of unit produced
b = (log r) / (log 2)
= log 0.78 / log 2
= - 0.107905 / 0.30102 = -0.35845
r = learning rate = 0.78
Time required to produce first unit = 61 hours
Time required to produce second unit = 61 * 2(log0.78 / log2)
= 61 * 2 -(0.35845)
= 61 * 0.780002
= 47.58 hours
Time required to produce third unit = 61 * 3-(0.35845)
= 61 * 0.67449
= 41.14 hours
Time required to produce fourth unit = 61 * 4-(0.35845)
= 61 * 0.60840
= 37.11 hours
Time required to produce fifth unit = 61 * 5-(0.35845)
= 61 * 0.56164
= 34.26 hours
Cumulative average time to produce first five units = Time required to produce (first unit + second unit + third unit + fourth unit + fifth unit)
Cumulative average time to produce first five units = 61 hours + 47.58 hours + 41.14 hours + 37.11 hours + 34.26 hours
Cumulative average time to produce first five units = 221.09 hours
What is the estimate of the cumulative average hours per unit required to produce the first...
If 200 labor hours were required to produce the first unit in a production run, and n labor hours were required to produce the seventh unit. Find the value of n if the learning curve rate during production is 80%.?

If it takes 60 hours to produce the first unit of a product and 50 hours to produce the 12th unit, what is the learning rate? A. 95.04%...
QUESTION 6 Find the time per unit (in minutes) required to produce the first unit, if the slope parameter of the learning rate is 66 % and the time to complete unit 40 takes 24 minutes. (Enter your answer as a number without the units.) QUESTION 6 Find the time per unit (in minutes) required to produce the first unit, if the slope parameter of the learning rate is 66 % and the time to complete unit 40 takes 24...
QUESTION 4 Find the time per unit (in minutes) required to produce the first unit, if the slope parameter of the learning rate is 70 % and the time to complete unit 45 takes 21 minutes. (Enter your answer as a number without the units.)
The direct labor times required to produce the first unit was 5 hours. The fourth unit took 3.2 hours. what is the estimated learning or improvement rate? Answers: a. 68% b.80% c. 70% D. 60%
Find the time per unit (in minutes) required to produce the first unit, if the slope parameter of the learning rate is 86 % and the time to complete unit 65 takes 9 minutes. (Enter your answer as a number without the units.)
It took MegaTech, Inc. 200,000 labor-hours to produce the first of several oil drilling rigs for Antarctic exploration. Your company, Natural Resources, Inc. has agreed to purchase the fifth oil drilling rig from their manufacturing yard. Assume that MegaTech experiences a learning rate of 75%. At a labor rate of $38 per hour, what should you, as the purchasing agent expect to pay for the fifth unit? TN = T1C, Where TN = Time needed to produce the Nth unit...
3) Assume that the first unit of production required 3 hours time for assembly. The learning curve rate is 75%. Find the time needed to assemble the first 6 units?
(1) Let us suppose it costs $70 to produce the 80th unit, assuming a learning rate of 95%, determine the cost of the 160th unit. (2) If the 4th unit took 24 hours to produce, and the 20th unit took 19 hours to produce, what would the learning rate be? Note: Express your answer in decimal places, i.e., if your answer is 40.56%, enter in 0.4056. (3) Let us suppose it costs $500 to produce the 120th unit, assuming a...
The learning curve model can also be used to estimate labor hours. This has application in the healthcare field, where experience in performing medical procedures can lower the average labor time per procedure. Labor hours will be entered for the 'costs.' If the cumulative average labor for a procedure was 10 hours for the first four procedures, and the learning rate is 0.95, what is the cumulative average time for the first 120 procedures? Enter your answer to two decimal...
