The following statements have been made about learning curves.
(1) Learning curves are easier to apply in companies with a high labour turnover than those with a lower
rate of staff turnover.
(2) Learning rates are not affected by time gaps between the production of additional units of a product.
Which of the above statements is/are true?
A 1 only
B 2 only
C Neither 1 nor 2
D Both 1 and 2It seems theré is a mistake in Answer for this question.Could you please confirm that variant C is correct?
Something has gone wrong in the BPP Kit, because their answer is an answer to a completely different question 🙂
The correct answer is indeed C.
(Most people would answer B, because gaps in production could mean that workers forget what they were doing and would therefore have to start learning again. However although that would affect the calculations, it would not change the learning rate itself.)
Thank you.Am I right that these are among conditions for solving such problems:steady labour turnover and no gaps in production?
You are correct in that steady labour and no gaps in production are needed for the learning rules to continue to apply to the production.
(But, as I wrote before, gaps in production would not change the rate of learning but would mean that we would have to start again with the rules 🙂 )
