LEARNING CURVES :• concept developed by Hermann Ebbinghaus• Arthur Bills evolved properties of types of LC.•Theodore Wright stated the effect of Learning on Labour productivity• Brookes explained how learning improved methods , reduces the efforts & resources reqd• is applicable in labour oriented repititve assembly operationsPRINCIPLE :• is never ending process, directly proportionate to complexity, can be forecasted based on habits•People & orgns do their tasks better on repitition.
Assumptions:1. Time taken to produce decreases with
experience2. Cost is inversely proportional to no. of times
the job done3. Rate of improvement lowers over timeSr.No. Experience Curve
EffectLearning Curve Effect
1. More the no. of times a task is done, less is the cost
Less is the time reqd
2. Experience curve ranges from 10-25%
Reqd labour time reduced by 10-15 %
3. As cumulative output doubles, cost falls vary at different scales of operation
As cumulative output doubles, cost falls do not vary at different scales of operation
4. Apllicable in continuous & intermittent production
Shows the reduction in reqd dir lab hrs
Experience & Learning curves are applicable where :
• increase in labour efficiency• Standardization, Specialization, methods
are improved• Learning is technology driven• Altered resource mix• Redesigning of products• Improved supply chain• Sharing experience in case of other
products
Learning curve approaches:Labour cost & Learning rate declines at a steady rate as output doubles.
1. Arithmetic Approach-Time reqd for nth unit= T x Ln
2. Logarithmic Approach – TN = T1 (Nb)3. Co-efficient Approach – TN = T1 x C Limitations :• Learning curve, personnel, work culture,
product design, resource availability, process change varies in every orgn
• LC don’t apply to indirect labour• Time measurements should be accurate
Learning curves are useful in-Labour forecasting, scheduling, estimating
cost & budgetsSupply chain aspectsEvaluating profitability

WHOLE BRAIN THEORY :• 1981- Roger Sperry -Nobel Prize for his discoveries relating to functional specialization of cerebral hemisheres.• Defn : WHOLE BRAIN THINKING
Awareness of one’s own thinking style+ other’s thinking style+ ability to act outside one’s preferred thinking style
• THINKING STYLES IN WHOLE BRAIN THEORY :1. logician – analytical, mathematical, technical, problem
solving2. Organiser – controlled, conservative, planned,
organized, admins3. Communicator –interpersonal, emotional, musical,
spiritual4. Visionary –imaginative, synthesizing, artistic, holistic,
conceptual

Brain Dominance through Observation
Quadrant - A style is typically authoritative
16
Quadrant - B style is typically traditional, conservative and risk avoiding
• Highly traditional and conservative• Strive for safety and stability• Resist change. • They like order and work best in an
organisation where the lines of authority is clear,
• Strictly follows rules
16
17
The A and B quadrants are practical and realistic.
They are characteristically hard than soft
18
Quadrant - C is personable,interactive and care giving
• Highly participative, oriented to teams and communities
• Concerned about the people and comfortable with people
• Ready to help out of the way and counsel others
• They are soft people and musical

Quadrant – D is holistic, risk oriented, adventurous, initiative and entrepreneurial • Conceptual, imaginative, integrative, adventurous,
risk oriented, global• Talk about possibilities, strategic planning,
independent, inventive, innovative and does always different
• Thinks bout the future, open minded and less conservative
Quadrants C & D are open minded, initiative and flexible

Quadrants Orientation
• Left mode A / B is male oriented• Right mode C / D is female oriented
• Cerebral styles A / D prefer for technical and experimental thinking
• Limbic styles B /C prefer stability of tradition with a caring responsiveness
