When comparing a 70% learning curve versus a 90% learning curve, which one results in a more rapid reduction in labor requirements? Why?

What will be an ideal response?


Learning curves are defined in terms of the complements of their improvement rates. A 70% learning curve implies a 30% decrease in time each time the number of replications is doubled. A 90% learning curve implies a 10% decrease in time each time the number of replications is doubled. Therefore, the reduction in labor requirements is more rapid at 70% than at 90%.
