<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>2. Using the cumulative average-time method and a90% learning rate, what</strong></p> <p style="text-align:left;"><strong>would be the total time required to produce4 units of a product if the first </strong><strong>unit was produced in5 hours?</strong></p> <p style="text-align:left;"><strong> a.20 total hours</strong></p> <p style="text-align:left;"><strong> b.18 total hours</strong></p> <p style="text-align:left;"><strong> c.17.6 total hours</strong></p> <p style="text-align:left;"><strong> d.16.2 total hours</strong></p>
The Cumulative Average Time Method Is A Statistical Method For Forecasting and the Way to Solve This Case :-
1- the time to produce the first unit is5 Hour
2- When The Production Is doubled the Learning Is Increase And the Time Of Production Is Reduce so the produce Of2 Unit =5 hour×90% =4.5 hour
3- produce4 unit =4.5 hour×90% =4.05
so the total tine to produce4 Unit =4.05×4=16.2 is the right Answer
Answer option (d) >>>>>>>> 16.2 total hours
Answer : d --------16.2 total hours
answer is d
accumulate time per unit after forth unit is =5*.9*.9=4.05
total time for all units are =4.05*4 =16.2
The answer is the correct answer is D
answer is d, It is an application of learning curve theory. When production doubles cumulative average time per unit will decreased at a fixed percentage. In the given case it is90%.
So for1unit - 5Hours
2 Units - 4.5hours
4 Units - 4.05 hours
So Total =4 *4.05 = 16.2 hours
a
D is the correct answer,,,,,,,
d.>>>>>16.2 total hours
