How do we get to the man hours in Labor cost/manning?

Manning is worked out on an averaged capacity utilization. For integrated mills, the staff for the pulp line is included: the overall manning is split up into the PM and other processes. The Summary on our Flowsheets shows number of people (machine operators, maintenance technicians (both paid on hourly basis) and employees paid on monthly salaries). The numbers of manning are then broken down to the man hours/ton(ne) produced, taking into account the annual man hours per region. Finally, the man hours/ton(ne) produced are multiplied by hourly salaries (those of monthly salaries were broken down into hourly salaries also).
