Application Research of Personal Learning Curve in Staff Skill Testing

Abstract:

According to the characteristics of many varieties small batch production, the assembly workers with operating accurate, coordination and strong learning ability are needed in a manual assembly line. Some scientific operating skills test is used to evaluate staff in recruitment, working hours formulate and performance evaluation. The origins and definition of learning curve were introduced. The characteristics of operation skills were analyzed. The mirror painting instrument was used to test the learning ability of workers for new operation skills. Workers were asked to face the graphics within the mirror, and to depict the graphics using the testing pen. The mistake number and the operation time were recorded. Learning curves were drawn out. Everyone worker movement skills forming process was analyzed on the basis of the above data. The test process and analyze conclusion provide the scientific basis and the decision support for the enterprises.
