MANUFACTURING PROGRESS FUNCTIONS II. SELECTION OF TRAINEES AND CONTROL OF THEIR PROGRESS

SUMMARY SUMMARY In Part I (Glover, 1965) it was shown that the model ∑y+C =a(∑,x)m could be used to describe all cases of learning in industry, whether of individuals learning a particular skill, or of complete factories learning to produce a new product. The development of the CULOG form of learning curve was discussed. In the present paper consideration is given to the selection of trainees and a method of monitoring their progress so that the occurrence of “plateaus” of learning is minimised.
