Employment of learning mathematical model in construction
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to employ a new method in construction industry for analytical evaluation for labour costs decrease with greater learning so that longer production runs exhibit greater reduction in direct labour hours. When there are alternative methods for performing various tasks, the best method may depend upon learning. In the powerform model the learning rate is specified by the parameter c. The expected amount of learning is not available directly from the powerform model but a rough estimate can be obtained by computing t50, t100 or t1000 and subtracting it from t1.
