    A company predicted that the learning rate for production of a new product would be 80%. The actual learning rate was 75%.The following possible reasons were stated for this :
    1)The number of new employees recruited was lower than expected
    2) unexpected problems were encountered with production
    3)unexpected changes to Health and safety laws meant that the company had to increase the number of breaks during production for employees
    Which of the above reasons could have caused the difference between expected rate of learning and the actual rate of learning?
    1)All of the above
    2)2and3
    3)1 only
    4)none of the above
    The answer is 1only. Why is it not 2,3?

    As I explain in my lectures, the lower the learning rate then the faster they are learning (a learning rate of 100% would mean that they were not learning at all).

    2 and 3 would mean they were learning more slowly and that would mean that the learning rate would be higher than predicted.

    Sorry to intervene,
    But sir why would under recruitment enhance learning curve?

    New employees need to start learning. If they are not recruiting new employees then they will be using existing employees and the existing employees have already been learning.
