加拿大国际金属公司(Inco)是目前产品成本较低的生产者之一,他们打算通过提高劳动生产率并在采选的某些部门提高定额的办法进一步降低成本。由于该公司生产成本中近一半为采矿费用,而采矿费用中约一半为劳动工资,故提高采矿生产率的好处是不言而喻的。 Inco, one of the less costly producers in the country today, plans to further reduce costs by increasing labor productivity and raising quotas in certain sectors of the mining sector. As nearly half of the company’s manufacturing costs are mining costs, and about half of its mining costs are for work pay, the benefits of increased mining productivity are self-evident.
