Production labour and a preserved headcount inconsistency
The workforce table reports 9,728 employees in total, including 6,374 production staff and 1,576 technical staff. Technical staff is a broader occupational label than the separately disclosed 1,153 research personnel and should not be substituted for it. The same table lists 100 parent-company staff and 9,520 staff of major subsidiaries, which add to 9,620 rather than 9,728. The unexplained 108-person difference is preserved: it is not assigned to smaller subsidiaries, outsourcing or a reporting-date change without evidence. Both the professional categories and education categories total 9,728. Outsourced work is separately reported as 1,161,200 hours and CNY 16,700,000 of remuneration; these are not direct employee numbers, average employee pay or an established measure of production efficiency. The description of future frontline skills and operating-post certification provides staffing context, without quantifying its effect on yields, downtime or customer quality. General welfare provisions, classroom counts and training activities are compressed because the passage does not demonstrate a specific production bottleneck or improvement.
