The occurrence and characteristics of human learning and forgetting are extensively
researched in many fields. Thus, the literature on learning curves is abundant. Within …

Learning curves (LCs) are deemed effective tools for monitoring the performance of workers
exposed to a new task. LCs provide a mathematical representation of the learning process …

In this paper, we develop a closed-loop supply chain model with two suppliers, one
manufacturer and one retailer. The manufacturer produces a single product in batches using …

The available learning and forgetting models do not consider the physical loading that
performing a task requires. In some situations, physical loading results in workers' fatigue on …

Early investigations of the learning phenomenon focused on the behavior of individual
subjects who were learning-by-doing. These investigations revealed that the time required …

Companies often struggle with the problem of appropriately assigning multi-skilled
employees and maintaining the required skill levels while performing a changing project's …

This paper presents a methodology for job rotation in manufacturing systems that aims to
ease employee's boredom and exploit the effect of rotation intervals on worker's skill …

Responding to the demand by researchers and practitioners for a comprehensive reference,
Handbook of Industrial and Systems Engineering offers full and easy access to a wide range …

This study considers the characteristics of a worker performing a sequence of tasks in a
mission by develo** a Bayesian Network model to predict reliability and mission …

A mathematical model is developed that estimates the human error rate while performing an
assembly job under the influence of learning–forgetting and fatigue–recovery. Despite other …
