Eventually, better labour-force supply will create healthier and more sustainable demand.
Understanding the effects of extended work hours and different work schedules on people, productivity and value recovery of both on- and off-forest mechanised operations will allow planners to better manage log supply, labour force requirements, and the economics of the forest to mill supply chain.
Brewer (2003), Gregg and Harkness (2003), Blundell and Hoynes (2004), Francesconi and van der Klaauw (2004), Brewer et al. (2005), Leigh (2005), and Brewer et al.

Understanding the effects of extended work hours and different work schedules on productivity of mechanised operations will allow harvest planners to better manage log supply, labour force requirements, and harvesting economics.
Thus, HRIS can support long-term planning with information on labour force planning as well as supply and demand forecasts, staffing with information on equal employment, separations and applicant qualifications and development with information on training program costs and trainee work performance.
Ever the pragmatist, he realises that all companies must, to varying degrees, have impacts and dependencies on the environment, - whether directly through operations, or indirectly through the supply chain, labour force or other influences.
For each year of the scenario, in fact, neo-graduates are added to professionals expected in the labour force, generating the overall regional supply, which creates a surplus or a deficit (gap) with respect to the three demand scenarios.
The Admiralty wanted a base near deep water that had easy access to a labour force and could be easily supplied by road and rail – and in addition, for safety reasons, a missile storage and loading site that was separated by at least 4,400ft from the regular docking berth, where routine maintenance was carried out and crews came and went.
Canadian reports indicate that the main reason for significant gaps in this field is the absence of current and reliable data available on supply, demand and labour force participation trends for rehabilitation therapists [ 38- 40].
