During the presentation regarding the trade-off analysis process, a question arises about the potential effect of learning curves on project efficiency. To answer the question you will need to find sources to support your assignment response. You will need to support your response both in content and graphically. The question is:

Will the learning curve concept have an effect on our particular project?

To help in answering this question, you decide to research the Learning Curve Concept to assess its specific effects on your project. (Hint: You will need to conduct preliminary research to identify leading experts in the learning curve area and review their writings to build background knowledge.)

In your assessment, include topics such as the Learning Curve Concept, the cumulative average curve, follow-up on orders, and manufacturing breaks. Be as specific as possible on the effects of the Learning Curve Concept to the project by providing specific examples. Identify a minimum of 10-15 learning curve tasks in order to do so.

Support your paper with minimum of five (5) resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.

Length: 5-7 pages including supporting diagram(s) and not including title and reference pages
