p5 course notes chapter 4 example 1

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)

John Moffat,thanks, I have also learnt from your explanation,I was behind in learning curves. Leihong8, thanks for asking this question.
