You are about to undertake the manufacture of a labor-intensive electronics component. The first unit took 300 hours. You are not sure whether the learning curve is 70% or 80%. The initial phase of the contract calls for 6 of these components
a. How much time will it take to complete all six at 70% learning?
b. How much time will it take to complete all six at 80% learning?
From Table E.3, 70 percent learning, the factor for total time for six units is 3.593; for 80 percent learning, the factor is 4.299. (a) 3.593 ? 300 = 1077.9 hours; (b) 4.299 ? 300 = 1289.7 hours.
