Sir the Kaplan study text points out that because of JIT production learnign curve doesn’t operate. The reason being JIT production makes workers multi skilled and multi-tasked.
Relating to the above paraphrasing of a passage in kaplan i have 2 doubts:1) i don’t the basic point about JIT production making workers, multi-skilled and multi-tasked? Like how exactly?
2)Assuming its right, why can’t multiple learning curves operate at the same time and all the processes involving different skills become faster to operate, concurrently?
Just in time production is producing to meet the demand. As demand varies between different products the workers have to switch production between different products. For this to work efficiently it needs employees to be multi-skilled and to be able to perform different tasks.
For the learning effect to operate properly it really needs workers to continually be repeating the same task.
