A computational survey of the various univariate and multivariate learning curve models that
have evolved over the past several years is presented. Discussions are presented to show …

This paper deals with a model of the firm engaged in production to order. Models of this
situation frequently conclude that the size of the order and production rate each influence …

Given n items, each having a weight wi, and a container of capacity W, the Subset-Sum
Problem (SSP) is to select a subset of the items whose total weight is closest to, without …

The purpose of this paper is to establish a linkage between quality control, the production
learning process and the firm's propensity to use quality control under various conditions. A …

The impact of alternate periods of learning and forgetting on product quality in a
manufacturing system is discussed in this paper. Factors that may precipitate forgetting are …

Efficient management of 'product'learning and 'industry'learning situations requires the use
of appropriate on-line models which can trigger the need for investigative and corrective …

In this paper the problems of using aggregate monthly data to estimate learning curves are
investigated. Here, aggregate monthly data on labor hours are assumed to contain some of …

This paper presents a statistical rationale for the existence of the learning curve
phenomenon. We consider a firm which allocates a fixed amount of input into several …

This article presents an approach to modeling multifactor learning curve models for
productivity and performance analysis in manufacturing. The models account for alternate …

This research represents an extension of previous work in the area of estimating military
airframe program costs. The effort is unique in that it yields a model of the production …
