description The aim of this article is to carry out a theoretical review of the learning curve, its origins, models and main applications. A documentary investigation was carried out, for which specialized databases were consulted, addressing the main authors and the characteristic aspects of each model. The findings indicate the importance of studying learning curves, both at the individual, group and organizational levels. The latter can be a source for decision-making in companies, since the different learning curve models can provide information referring to: production goals, performance evaluation, labor estimation, and price and cost optimization, to create competitive advantages. The reviewed works highlight the benefit of learning curves in topics such as: planning, training and process control. It is concluded that the learning curves, although they began in the aviation industry, have been disseminated to various industrial sectors, with the contribution of new mathematical models for their estimation.

Este documento presenta una revisión sobre el concepto de curva de aprendizaje, sus orígenes, modelos y principales aplicaciones. Se realizó una investigación documental, para la cual se consultaron bases de datos especializadas, abordando los principales autores y los aspectos característicos de cada modelo. Los hallazgos indican la importancia del estudio de las curvas de aprendizaje, tanto a nivel individual, grupal y organizacional. Estas últimas pueden ser fuente para la toma de decisión en las empresas, ya que los distintos modelos de curva de aprendizaje pueden brindar información, referente a: metas de producción, evaluación de rendimientos, estimación de mano de obra, optimización de precios y costos, para crear ventajas competitivas. Los trabajos revisados destacan el beneficio de las curvas de aprendizaje en temas como: la planeación, la capacitación y el control de procesos. Se concluye que las curvas de aprendizaje, si bien iniciaron en la industria de la aviación, se han difundido a diversos sectores industriales, con la aportación de nuevos modelos matemáticos para su estimación.
