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 how the models might be used for cost analysis or productivity assessment in engineering management. A computational experiment comparing a univariate model to a bivariate model is presented. While the bivariate model provides only a slightly better fit than the univariate model, it does provide more detailed information about the factor interactions, and better utilization of available data. The results of the computational experiment can be generalized for the appropriateness of multivariate models. >read more

Scheduling with general job-dependent learning curves
Gur Mosheiov,Jeffrey B. Sidney +1 more
TL;DR: This work extends the setting studied so far to the case of job-dependent learning curves, that is, it allows the learning in the production process of some jobs to be faster than that of others, and shows that in the new, possibly more realistic setting, the problems of makespan and total flow-time minimization on a single machine, a due-date assignment problem and total flowspan on unrelated parallel machines remain polynomially solvable.

Order lead-time improvement following enterprise information technology implementation: an empirical study
Mark J. Cotteleer,Elliot Bendoly +1 more
TL;DR: Analysis of longitudinal data suggest that performance along a key metric motivating the ERP initiative showed a significant improvement immediately after system deployment, and suggests that the system implementation gave rise to an ongoing trend of performance improvement, in contrast to a stable performance trend prior to go-live.

Some scheduling problems with general position-dependent and time-dependent learning effects
TL;DR: This paper develops a general model with learning effects where the actual processing time of a job is not only a function of the total normal processing times of the jobs already processed, but also afunction of the job's scheduled position.

Single-machine scheduling problems with the effects of learning and deterioration
TL;DR: This paper proves that the WSPT rule and the EDD rule can construct the optimal sequence under some special cases, respectively for the following objective functions: the weighted sum of completion times and the maximum lateness.

Factors affecting the cost of airplanes
TL;DR: The matter became of increasing interest and importance because of the program sponsored by the Bureau of Air Commerce for the development of a small two-place airplane which, it was hoped, could be marketed at $700 assuming a quantity of ten thousand units could be released for construction.

The learning curve: historical review and comprehensive survey
TL;DR: The use of the learning curve has been receiving increasing attention in recent years as discussed by the authors, and much of this increase has been due to learning curve applications other than in the traditional learning curve areas.

Reliability of Progress Curves in Airframe Production
TL;DR: In this paper, a statistical study of the reliability of a given function for certain types of estimates in the aircraft industry and the Air Force is presented, showing that lower direct labor costs occur as the number of items produced increases.
