... has not been extensively investigated in previous research. Design/methodology/approach An extensive experimental campaign involving 84 operators was conducted to repeatedly assemble and disassemble six different products of varying complexity to construct productivity and quality learning curves...

...Eric H. Grosse; Christoph H. Glock Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the prevalence of human learning in the order picking process in an experimental study. Further, it aims to compare alternative learning curves from the literature and to assess which learning curves are most suitable...

...). The analysis involved the launching phase of a manufacturing line of a complete exhaust‐system of a new automobile model. The process monitoring period was two working months. We considered two motorizations that – according to the learning curve theory – can be considered as two equivalent manufacturing...
