question 57

Multiple Choice

The learning curve percent and the reduction in the time it takes to produce the 1,000^th unit (in general n^th unit) as compared to the time to make the first unit is

• A) related in a direct fashion, meaning the higher the learning curve percentthe greater will be the reduction in time to produce the 1,000^th unit.
• B) related in an inverse fashion, meaning the higher the learning curve percentthe lower will be the reduction in time to produce the 1,000^th unit.
• C) related in a linear direct fashion, meaning the higher the learning curve percentthe proportionately higher will be the reduction in time to produce the 1,000^th unit.
• D) not related.
