The real problem

Why this usually goes wrong

Most plant staffing plans are built on sanctioned headcount, not on shift maths. A three-shift line with realistic absenteeism needs a standing buffer. Without it, the shortfall shows up as missed dispatch, not as an HR metric.

FAQ

Questions buyers actually ask

How do you handle absenteeism on critical lines?

By staffing a buffer into the plan and keeping a standby pool warm in the catchment. Reacting to absenteeism on the morning of a shift is too late.

Do you provide trade-tested operators?

Yes. Skill testing happens before shortlist, which is why skilled trades take 9–14 days rather than 5–7.

What Factories Act obligations apply?

Registers, working hours, overtime limits, safety training records and welfare provisions. We maintain the contract-labour side and support your team on the establishment side.

Can you staff all three shifts?

Yes, including night-shift rosters. Night-shift wage differentials and transport are factored into the benchmark upfront.
