Forecasting manpower requirements across project stages to balance recruitment, permanent staff and contract workforce.
Mining projects require different workforce levels at different stages. Without reliable manpower forecasting, a company may over-hire permanent employees and continue carrying unnecessary labour costs as the project enters its final stages or ends. At the same time, insufficient recruitment can create manpower shortages that affect project execution and delivery.
The company implemented Synorex One to support AI-driven manpower forecasting based on the remaining project duration, current workforce, workload, role requirements and upcoming project stages. The system helps management estimate when recruitment is required, how many people are needed and which positions are more suitable for permanent employment, contract workers or temporary manpower. This allows workforce planning to follow the actual project lifecycle rather than relying only on static headcount assumptions.
Management gained earlier visibility into future manpower requirements and could plan recruitment more accurately. The company can reduce over-hiring, limit unnecessary long-term labour commitments after project completion and create a more flexible mix of permanent and contract workforce while maintaining the manpower needed to support project progress.
