12 Learning Curves in Research Management
12.1 Introduction
Learning curves, also known as manufacturing progress functions, are used extensively in business, science, technology, engineering, and industry to predict system performance over time. Although most of the early development and applications were in the area of production engineering, contemporary applications can be found in all areas of applications. Learning curves are directly applicable to research management. The application is learning curves is very computational and often represented graphically. This chapter applies the concept of half-life of learning curves to research project management. This is useful for predictive measures of research ...
