    unit 1, average time is 100
    unit 2, averge time is 75

    I thought with 75% learning curve, unit3, average time should be 56.25. Why unit 4, the average time turn out to be 56.25.
    Does anyone know why? thanks

    The learning curve rule is that every time production doubles, the average time per unit falls to the percentage of what it was before.

    So…in the example, if we make 1 unit then the time is 100 hours and so the average time is 100 hours per unit.

    If we double production by making a second unit (so now 2 in total) then the average time per unit becomes 75% of 100 hours = 75 hours.

    If we double production again by making 2 more units (so now 4 in total) then the average time per unit becomes 75% of 75 hours = 56.25 hours.

    (This is the average time per unit when we make 4 – not the time for any one of the units)
