Dear tutor,
Can you take a look at question 3 – past exam dec 2013 and explain for me
Why do we need to calculate time taken to produce 8th batch for calculation of Nov?
Why can’t we use cumulative average time/batch in Oct (136.294 hrs) for calculating 8 batches in Nov ?
136.294 x 0.88 = 119.939 hrs?November 9, 2016 at 9:04 am #348184Up until the end of October, every batch will get faster.
So every batch in November (when the learning has stopped) will take the same time as the very last batch in October.If you watch my free lectures on learning curves you will see that I work through a very similar example.

Can u explain for me what slack is and how to calculate it?
November 12, 2016 at 8:18 pm #348637Watch the lecture on linear programming.. It’s too long a concept to type here
November 13, 2016 at 9:40 am #348684Thank you mjibola!
vuvietquang90: mjibola is correct – the free lectures explain what slack is, with examples.
(Also, please start a new thread when you are asking about a different topic)
