The authors investigate through several simulations how patterns of learning and forgetting affect the operating … performance of an assembly line. A unique aspect of this study is that a distribution of learning/forgetting behavior based on an …, task tenure, and the magnitude of worker forgetting. In controlled computer simulation experiments, each of these factors …

Organisational learning curve analysis and its inverse, organisational forgetting are discussed. The issues involved … and a framework for analysing and incorporating forgetting and learning in organisational environments are presented. A … significant impact on the intesity of forgetting. Mathematical models are developed and applied to production environments. A …
