An understanding of how costchanges is needed to accurately estimate and schedule the operations. A learning curve is agraphical representation of the relationship between unit cost and the number of units produced.Learning curve theory states that when the production quantity doubles, the unit cost (measuredin hours, man-hours, dollars, etc.) will decrease by a fixed percentage from the previous unitcost. A number of mathematical models have been used to describe the learning curve, includingthe straight line power model, Stanford “B” model, cubic power model, piecewise model, andexponential model2.
