Abstract:

This exploratory paper sketches some of the behavioral processes that give rise to the learning curve. Using data from two manufacturing departments in an electronic equipment company, the authors construct a model of productivity improvement as a function of cumulative output and two managerial variables-engineering changes and workforce training. Exploration of this model highlights the complex relationship between first-order and second-order learning.
