The learning curve captures the relationship between task performance and task repetition. In general. as output doubles the-unit production time will be reduced to some fixed percentage. the learning curve percentage or learning curve rate. This equation uses the learning curve to calculate a time estimation for completion of some number of repetitive tasks.
`T_N` = time requirement for the Nth unit of production
`T_"initial"` = time req. for the initial unit of production
`N` = number of completed unts (cumulative production)
b = learning curve exponent where:
b = `(log"(learning curve as decimal)")/log 2.0`
