business, that will minimize losses and increase sales. The Pizza Store layout simulation, the focus of this paper, requires the user to take a management position and make decisions that impact profitability. As to be expected, making business decisions like this involve a learning curve consisting of repeatedly analyzing decisions. This paper will cover the learning curve theory, the decisions made during the Pizza Store layout simulation, and the best conclusion reached as a result of those decisions

first attempt whereas others may take several tries to achieve efficient production. The average time it takes for a group of people to adjust is the learning curve. This paper will review the learning curve theory as it applies to a simulated pizza store layout. The learning curve Learning curves can be applied to individuals. Learning improves with repetition generating skill or efficiency. Much of academia is based on this “practice makes perfect” (Chase, Jacobs, Aquilano, 2006) idea. The learning

Learning Curve Concepts to test the alternative to the process The table for process performance data for the metric identified in the Pizza Store Layout Simulation is as follows: Table 1 S.

Management September 20, 2010 Dr. Alavaro Carreras, Jr. Mario’s Pizza Simulation The learning curve is a very useful tool organization can use to ensure a more efficient and profitable business. This tool allows organizations to manage their entire staff from top to bottom. The simulation help organizations make more educated decisions and ensure that they are doing the best for the company. Furthermore, the simulation help many organizations have a better understanding of how their processes

The current business flow through process at the pizzeria is: 1. four servers 2. two kitchen staff 3. four manual ovens 4. 14 tables that seat four with no other table seating types available 5. Cream puffs product in addition to Pizza and uniqueness. As the business is being passed down, it is important for the successor to recognize the learning curve and understand the restaurant as it functions today. During peak times, the pizzeria staffs four wait staff and two kitchen workers

problems that can create a loss for the business. After a review of the pizzeria’s layout, it shows that there are 14 tables that sit four customers at a time, and two tables that sit two customers, which include a wait staff of four employees and two kitchen workers. In order for Mario’s grandson to reduce his customers wait time of nine minutes he must make the necessary changes to the pizzeria’s overall layout in order to seat more customers. Mario’s grandson ultimately decides to accommodate
