Documentation for ProTrackWarehouse 22.1.

Learning Curve is a means of granting an inexperienced employee additional time to perform a standard activity. Each review period the employee will be given a STAP (Standard Time Adjusted Percent) to work the activity. STAP is the additional time granted by applying an adjustment to the base standard time. After a certain amount of time the employee has worked that activity, they will progress in the plan which will decrease the amount of STAP received. This will repeat for each review period until 0% is reached. At this point, the employee has completed the learning curve and will no longer receive STAP when working the activity.

Each learning curve plan has a configured:

  1. Review Period - time frame that ProTrack will look into for the accumulated exposure time
  2. Minimum Exposure Hours - the required amount of time the employee must work in the activity before they can progress in the plan

If the employee does not meet the minimum exposure hours in a review period, ProTrack will look into the next review period to see if any hours were worked under the activity and accumulate the time. This accumulated time will then be compared against the minimum exposure hours. If the accumulated time exceeds the minimum exposure hours, the employee will progress in the learning curve for the next review period. This will continue until the employee has progressed through all the STAP levels (stepped progression).

Example:

  • Duration = 14 weeks
  • Review period = 2 weeks                                                                                                                              
  • STAP = 35%
  • 35% ÷ (14 ÷ 2) = 5% adjustment per review period
