How to Apply a Learning Curve to Loadout and Installation Processes

This article explains best practices for applying a learning curve to loadout (and installation) processes and tasks for towers using the Processes tab.

What is the recommended way to apply a learning curve to loadout tasks?

Apply the learning curve at the process level for the relevant loadout or installation task in the logistic’s Processes tab by enabling the learning curve and entering cycle-specific percentage multipliers that adjust process duration.

How should I configure cycle percentages to make the first five completions take 50% longer?

Set cycles 1–5 to 150% and then add cycle 6 at 100% so normal duration applies from the sixth completion onward.

1. In the logistic’s Processes tab, enable the learning curve for the loadout or installation task.
2. Enter activity-time percentage = 150% for cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
3. Add cycle 6 and set activity-time percentage = 100%.

How does the learning curve percentage affect process duration?

The learning curve applies a percentage multiplier to the process duration for each completion; the configured percentage for a given cycle multiplies the standard process duration for that completion.

How are values applied after the last configured cycle?

The last value entered is used for all following completions. For example, entering 100% at cycle 6 keeps every later completion at the standard duration.

Which tasks support this learning curve feature?

The feature is available for Design Construction loadout and installation tasks that have durations configured in a logistic’s Processes tab.

• If completions are still longer than expected after configuring cycles, verify each cycle’s activity-time percentage is entered correctly (e.g., 150% for cycles 1–5, 100% at cycle 6).
• Confirm the learning curve is enabled on the specific loadout or installation process in the logistic’s Processes tab.
• Ensure the process has a configured duration; the learning curve multiplies an existing process duration.

Conclusion

Enable the learning curve on the loadout or installation process in the logistic’s Processes tab, set cycle-specific activity-time percentages (e.g., 150% for cycles 1–5 and 100% at cycle 6), and remember the last configured value applies to all subsequent completions.
