Learning curve

Presentation of my industrial learning curve calculator

My industrial learning curve calculator is a useful tool for estimating the time required to produce a specific number of units, based on the experience gained during the production process. The calculator uses specific learning curves for different types of work, such as assembly, welding, or wiring, to provide accurate estimates of the time required for each unit.

How to use my script

To use my script, follow these steps:

  1. Enter the total number of units that you want to produce in the “Units to produce” field.
  2. Enter the standard time required to produce a single unit in the “Standard time per unit” field.
  3. Enter the number of the last unit that you produced in the “Last unit produced” field.
  4. Enter the time taken to produce the last unit in the “Time taken for last unit” field.
  5. Select the type of work that you are doing from the dropdown menu under “Type of work”. This will select the appropriate learning curve for that type of work.

Once you have entered all the required information, click the “Calculate” button to generate a learning curve and a table showing the estimated time required for each subsequent unit.

Example

Suppose you need to produce 100 units of a specific product using welding as the type of work. The standard time required to produce a single unit is 10 minutes.

You have already produced 20 units of this component, and the last unit took 12 minutes to complete. Therefore, you would enter the following values in my script:

  • Units to produce: 100
  • Standard time per unit: 10
  • Last unit produced: 20
  • Time taken for last unit: 12
  • Type of work: Welding

After entering these values, click the “Calculate” button to generate a learning curve and a table showing the estimated time required for each subsequent unit.

The graph will show the learning curve calculated for welding, while the table will show the estimated times for each subsequent unit, based on the learning curve. For example, for the 21st unit, my script will estimate a time of 9.33 minutes, while for the 50th unit, it will estimate a time of 5.25 minutes.

I hope this presentation and example have given you a better understanding of how to use my script. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!
