The learning curve model is a mathematical form which represents the relationship between the manufacturing experience and its effectiveness. The semiconductor manufacturing is widely known as an appropriate example for the learning effect due to its complicated manufacturing processes. In this paper, I propose a new compound learning curve model for semiconductor products in which the general learning curve model and the growth curve are composed. The dependent variable and the effective independent variables of the model were abstracted from the existing learning curve models and selected according to multiple regression processes. The simulation results using the historical DRAM data show that the proposed compound learning curve model is one of adequate models for describing learning effect of semiconductor products.

This paper constructs Croup Technology process-based learning curve model adjusted to a Group Technology environment which accounts for shared learning that occurs when multiple products utilize some of the same process steps. Through this constructed model, the estimated times and productivity of labor calculated by the Group Technology process-based learning curve model are compared with those generated by employing product-based 1 earning curve model. For sensitivity analysis of the model, the impact of learning rate and the ordered production quantity on the ratio differences between Group Technology process-based learning curve model and product-based learning curve model are examined. These results indicate the critical importance of employing Group Technology process-based learning curve model when a process spans multiple products.

In this paper, a new method for the estimation of the effect of DSM program is proposed. By identifying the learning curve of high efficient induction motor, the effect of DSM program applied to that product can be estimated. The learning curve of normal induction motor, to which no DSM program is applied, is identified also. Both learning curves, which are different shapes, means different teaming ratio. It can be concluded that DSM program makes the learning curve of the product change the shape. It also can be concluded that DSM program has influence on the sale of the product to which it is applied.

Product usability consists of many attributes such as learnability, efficiency, memorability, and so on. In particular, learnability is one of the most important attributes in product usability. Therefore, many people consider the primary criterion for a good user interface to be the degree to which it is easy to learn. Learnability represents the degree of how much can easily learn the usage of a product. It concerns the features of the interactive system that allow novice users to understand how to use it initially and then how to attain a maximal level of performance. In this study, we studied on the application of learning curve to evaluate product learnability. In order to validate the applicability, we carried out simple experiment using mobile phone. We got task completion times through the experiment and predicted the times using learning curve model. And then, we compared prediction times to task completion times. Finally, we identified that learning curve could apply to predict and compare product learnability.

Traditional CVP (Cost-Volume-Profit) analysis employs linear cost and revenue functions within some specified time period and range of operations. Therefore CVP analysis is assumption of constant labor productivity. The use of linear cost functions implicity assumes, among other things, that firm's labor force is either a homogenous group or a collection homogenous subgroups in a constant mix, and that total production changes in a linear fashion through appropriate increase or decrease of seemingly interchangeable labor unit. But productivity rates in many firms are known to change with additional manufacturing experience in employee skill. Learning curve is intended to subsume the effects of all these resources of productivity. This learning phenomenon is quantifiable in the form of a learning curve, or manufacturing progress function. The purpose d this study is to show how alternative assumptions regarding a firm's labor force may be utilize by integrating conventional CVP analysis with learning curve theory, Explicit consideration of the effect of learning should substantially enrich CVP analysis and improve its use as a tool for planning and control of industry.

연구자가 같은 작업을 반복적으로 수행할 때, 작업 효율성은 연구에 관련된 지식, 경험, 기술이 축적되면서 향상된다. 결과를 얻기 위해 연구에 투자하는 시간은 같은 작업을 반복함으로써 줄일 수 있다. 이러한 현상을 학습곡선 효과(learning curve effect)라고 일컫는다. 학습곡선(learning curves)은 학습의 변화를 시각적으로 나타낸 것으로 이전의 학습곡선 연구에서는 시간을 일정한 구간으로 나누어 구간별 작업에 대한 숙련도의 평균 차이 여부를 확인하였다. 이러한 방법은 구간을 어떻게 나눌 것인가 하는 기준이 존재하지 않으며, 더욱이 이항 반응 자료로 모형을 적합하기 어려운 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이산형 확률변수 중 이항 반응 자료(베르누이자료)에 대한 학습곡선의 통계적 모형에 초점을 맞추고자 한다. 누적확률분포의 특성을 이용하여 모수를 추정하기 위해서 뉴튼-랩슨 방법(Newton-Raphson method)을 사용하였고, 이 연구에서 제안한 모형의 점근적 분포를 구하였다.

실천공학 교육을 위하여 피교육자에 대한 많은 실습과정이 요구되고 이 과정에서 여러 종류의 실습장비가 활용될 수 있다. 다양한 실습장비에 대한 다양한 피교육자들의 장비활용에 관한 학습능력을 나타낼 수 있는 방법으로 학습곡선이론의 적용방안을 모색하였다. 학습곡선이론은 기본적으로 생산관리 분야에서 활용되었던 이론으로, 인간공학적 측면에서 인간의 수행능력에 기반한 이론이다. 본 연구에서는 디자인 분야에서 활용되고 있는 시선추적장비를 대상으로 피교육자의 학습과정에 대한 학습곡선이론의 적용방안을 연구하였다. 시선추적장비의 하드웨어 셋업과 주시영역 기록의 두가지 실습과제를 교육한 후, 반복수행에 따른 과제수행시간을 측정하여 학습곡선모델을 적용하였다. 예측된 수행시간과 실제 수행시간과의 비교분석을 통하여 학습곡선모델의 적용가능성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 학습곡선모델은 실습장비를 활용한 실습교육에서 피교육자의 학습과정을 적합하게 묘사하는 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: The aims are to: (i) display the multidimensional learning curve of totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy, and (ii) verify the feasibility of totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy after learning curve completion by comparing it with laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy. Materials and Methods: From January 2005 to June 2012, 247 patients who underwent laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (n=136) and totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (n=111) for early gastric cancer were enrolled. Their clinicopathological characteristics and early surgical outcomes were analyzed. Analysis of the totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy learning curve was conducted using the moving average method and the cumulative sum method on 180 patients who underwent totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy. Results: Our study indicated that experience with 40 and 20 totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy cases, is required in order to achieve optimum proficiency by two surgeons. There were no remarkable differences in the clinicopathological characteristics between laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy and totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy groups. The two groups were comparable in terms of open conversion, combined resection, morbidities, reoperation rate, hospital stay and time to first flatus (P>0.05). However, totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy had a significantly shorter mean operation time than laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (P<0.01). We also found that intra-abdominal abscess and overall complication rates were significantly higher before the learning curve than after the learning curve (P<0.05). Conclusions: Experience with 20~40 cases of totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy is required to complete the learning curve. The use of totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy after learning curve completion is a feasible and timesaving method compared to laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy.

일반적으로 특정한 작업에 익숙해진다는 것은 그 작업에 투입되는 노력에 비해 산출되는 성과가 보다 뚜렷해진다는 것을 의미한다. 동일한 양이나 정도의 노력을 들여 특정한 작업을 반복적으로 수행하게 되면 초기 시점보다 원하는 성과를 기대 이상으로 얻게 된다는 것을 의미한다. 이를 학습곡선효과(learning-curve effects)'라고 한다. 본 연구에서는 특정한 작업을 반복시행한 결과가 개수형인 형태로 측정되는 변수에 대해 (역)S자 형태를 가지는 통계적 모형을 적용하고자 한다. 다양한 모의실험 하에서의 모형의 성능을 평가하고 특정질환으로 인한 사망자 자료에 적합하였다.
