Explain how changes in a process will trigger scallops in a learning curve once it's started.
A contractor intends to bid on a job installing 30 airport security systems. Because this will be a new line of work for the contractor, he believes there will be a learning effect for the job. After reviewing time records from a similar type of activity, the contractor is convinced that an 85 percent curve is appropriate. He estimates that the first job will take his crew eight days to install. Use the following table for calculation. Learning curve coefficients   70% 75% 80% 85% 90% UnitNumber UnitTime TotalTime UnitTime TotalTime UnitTime TotalTime UnitTime TotalTime UnitTime TotalTime 1 1.000 1.000 1.000 1.000 1.000 1.000 1.000 1.000 1.000 1.000 2 .700 1.700 .750 1.750 .800 1.800 .850 1.850 .900 1.900 3 .568 2.268 .634 2.384 .702 2.502 .773 2.623 .846 2.746 4 .490 2.758 .562 2.946 .640 3.142 .723 3.345 .810 3.556 5 .437 3.195 .513 3.459 .596 3.738 .686 4.031 .783 4.339 6 .398 3.593 .475 3.934 .562 4.299 .657 4.688 .762 5.101 7 .367 3.960 .446 4.380 .534 4.834…
