A learning curve is a function that measures how labor hours per unit decline as units of production increase due to workers learning and improving.

Model 1:Cumulative in learning model- As cumulative average declines by a certain percentage cumulative quantity of units produced doubles.

Model 2: Incremental unit-time- the time needed to produce the last unit decreases by a constant percentage as cumulative quantity of units produced doubles.
