Continuous Monitoring
Predien watches configured labour and capacity metrics continuously, so changes in overtime, cost per unit, or volume do not have to wait for a reporting cycle.
Model Overtime vs. Headcount
Before You Commit
Peak demand is coming, overtime is rising, and you need to decide how to cover the workload.
Predien's labor and capacity layer watches the metrics you have configured and helps you decide whether to adjust overtime or add headcount. Your forward deployed analyst validates the signal and models the options at which site, at what point, and what each choice does to throughput before you set up the shift schedule.
How Does Predien Monitor
Labour and Capacity?
Predien brings your labour and operating data together so you can see how changes in one part of the operation relate to others and understand what is happening across your business.
Capacity Signals
See when changing demand or volume starts putting pressure on available labour and capacity at a specific site.
Analyst Validation
Your forward deployed analyst reviews the signal, confirms whether the change matters, and adds the operating context needed to understand what is happening.
Overtime vs. Headcount
Compare overtime and added headcount at the relevant site and volume level, including how each option could affect throughput before you commit.
What Every Labor Decision
Puts in Front of You
Each analysis brings the key numbers, options, and operational impact together so your team can understand the trade-offs before changing the plan.
See how overtime and added headcount compare based on your actual labor costs, volume, and operating assumptions.
See the staffing choices being considered, including how much additional headcount may be needed and where.
Understand which site is driving the change and how the decision affects that location.
See how each option could affect the amount of work the operation can process.
Understand how a change in labor or capacity could affect order processing time.
See the volume, overtime level, or staffing point at which one option may become more suitable than another.
Your forward deployed analyst explains the important changes, adds operating context, and helps your team understand what the numbers mean for the decision.
How the Forward Deployed
Analyst Works with the Labour
and Capacity Model
The platform handles monitoring and modeling. Next, the forward deployed analyst brings the operating context needed to turn those numbers into a decision your team can evaluate.
Validate the Change
The analyst reviews the signal to confirm whether the movement represents meaningful labor or capacity change.
Frame the Options
The analyst works with the relevant assumptions and puts the available choices in front of your team using your own business numbers.
Model the Trade-Offs
Overtime, additional headcount, site, volume, and other variables can be changed to see how each option affects the operation.
Keep the Model Current
As volume, staffing, costs, or operating conditions change, your analyst maintains the relevant model, so it continues to reflect on the operation you are running.
Model the Decision Before

Questions Your Labour and
Capacity Model Can Answer
Every model starts with the decision your team is actually trying to make.
Overtime or Headcount?
Should we absorb the additional workload through overtime or bring in temporary headcount?
Which Site Is Driving the Change?
Which facility is responsible for the increase in labor cost, and when did the movement begin?
What Happens if Overtime Changes?
What happens to throughput and cost per unit if we reduce overtime by 20%?
How Many People Do We Need?
What headcount level would give us enough capacity while keeping cost per unit at target?
Capacity Planning Before
Labor Costs Rise
A change in volume can create pressure on labor and capacity before the impact is clear in financial reporting. Predien helps your team test staffing options against expected volume, labor hours, capacity, and cost per unit, so you can make changes before overtime becomes the default response.
