Learning Curve

The document shows a graph of cumulative average time on the y-axis against cumulative number of units on the x-axis. It shows that as more units are produced, the cumulative average time decreases. This is due to the learning effect - where the time taken to produce each additional unit decreases as the total number of units increases, due to efficiencies gained from learning by doing. The document also contains two tables that show the labour time and learning rate for each of the first 10 units produced under different learning pace scenarios ranging from 10-100%.
