The Learning Curve and Production Costs
Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
This article deals with the calculation of costs in an enterprise with consideration for the so-called learning effect. Technological changes appearing in the course of production reduce the time of performing certain activities. This phenomenon is directly reflected in the non-linear function of labour costs. With the help of a model of average and extreme time, which takes into account the impact of learning, the author describes the dependence between the size of the production, on the one hand, and the size of the total and extreme costs of labour, on the other hand. The article also presents statistical methods for the estimation of the parameters of the presented models - the training index and the time required by the production of the first as well as an appraisal of their reliability.
