    This document discusses learning curve calculations for manufacturing and medical procedures. It provides examples of calculating the time and cost for subsequent units based on the time and cost of initial units using learning curve formulas. Specifically, it estimates: - The time for the second unit of a process with a 90% learning curve if the first unit took 28 minutes - The time to complete the 4th unit of a 12-unit job with a 72% learning curve if the initial unit took 80 hours - The time for the 5th and 18th liver transplants and to complete all 18, for a hospital with an 80% learning curve that took 30 hours for its first transplant.

    Learning Curve Activity

    An operation has a 90% learning curve and the first unit produced took 28 minutes. The labor cost
    is $20 per hour.

    How long will the second unit take? How much should the second unit cost?

    TN = T1 C Cost2 = T2 x Labor Cost


    T2 = 28 mins. x 0.9 Cost2 = 25.2 mins x ($20 / 60 mins)
    T2 = 25.2 minutes Cost2 = $8.4

    Estimate the time it will take to complete the 4th unit of a 12-unit job involving a large assembly
    if the initial unit requires approximately 80 hours. Assuming 72% learning curve.

    TN = T1 (Nb)
    T4 = 80 hours x 4log2 0.72
    T4 = 41.47 hours

    Zen Hospital has received initial certification from the state of California to become a center for
    liver transplants. The hospital, however, must complete its first 18 transplants under great scrutiny
    and at no cost to the patients. The very first transplant, just completed, required 30 hours. On the
    basis of research at the hospital, Zen estimates that it will have an 80% learning curve.

    Estimate the time it will take to complete the fifth liver transplant.
    TN = T1 C
    T5 = 30 hrs. x 0.596
    T5 = 17.88 hours

    Estimate the time it will take to complete all of the first 5 transplants.
    TN = T1 C
    T5 = 30 hrs. x 3.738
    T5 = 112.14 hours

    Estimate the time it will take to complete the eighteenth transplant.


    TN = T1 C
    T18 = 30 hrs. x 0.394
    T18 = 11.82 hours

    Estimate the time it will take to complete all 18 transplants.


    TN = T1 C
    T18 = 30 hrs. x 9.716
    T18 = 291.48 hours
