Repairing labour of a ship may be defined as the total workforce (man-day) utilised to complete the repairing activities during the repairing period in a shipyard, including drydocking and quayside labour. It is the summation of several men working daily onboard and in the workshop for the ship until the works are completed. The daily workforce (number of men) is planned based on work scope (quantity) and available repairing time (schedule). Logically, a shorter time needs more men per day and a longer time needs fewer men per day for the exact scope of work considering that workers are equally skilled. However, there is no clear-cut definition of shorter time and more extended time. A balance must be maintained between completing works in time, ensuring quality standards, safety, budget and optimising workforce and resources. At the end of the repair, the actual total workforce is calculated.
