| Abstract | The progress of industry today is characterized by rapid development of products and
production facilities. It involves a continuous process of breaking and changing of methods,
products, facilities, and, most important of all, personnel. This process entails technological,
social, organizational, psychological, and even political problems. This thesis concerns one such
problem, productivity, during learning periods, when personnel are learning new skills or
developing new methods or new products. The learning curve theory and applications are
addressed as a basis for setting policies during the learning period mainly for the purpose of
increasing productivity. The models have been applied through the historical data and information
collected from the company under study, which is electronic component (computer peripheral
device) manufacturing plant in Thailand. The analysis and frameworks in this study are meant
to increase management confidence in adopting a learning curve approach to best utilize
resources in achieving the purpose of the organization. |
