This study introduces an analytic framework for extending univariate learning curves (manufacturing progress functions) to multivariate models for quality costs and productivity analyses. Multivariate functions are needed to account for the multitude of factors that can influence learning in manufacturing operations. Two bivariate manufacturing progress function for a consumer goods manufacturing company is presented. This study is also concerned with predicting ultimate productivity and quality costs and the time scale in which it is approached. Direct Method, Iterative Method and Three Parameter Estimation Method are also presented to predict these parameters.
