Executive overview
The SCO read-only thesis, pointed at the workforce: headcount, cost, capacity, retention, and hiring - observed in aggregate to support planning, not to monitor individuals.
What this is, and what it is not. A preview of a planned domain, not a live product. Workforce data is employee PII - this preview is synthetic and aggregated to function, team, and location. In production it would be read-only, role-gated, and aggregated: no individual surveillance, no scoring of people. AssetShop supports workforce planning, retention, and capacity; it never changes pay or employment, and the framing is augmentation, not displacement.
Headcount trajectory & plan synthetic
Signals worth attention
Synthetic preview. In production, derived read-only and aggregated from HRIS, ATS, payroll, and time systems with SHA-256-anchored lineage as in SCO.
Headcount
How the workforce is composed - by function, location, and type - and how it moved.
Headcount by function synthetic
Headcount bridge (TTM) synthetic
By location
By worker type
| Type | Count | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Hourly (production) | 1,053 | 54% |
| Salaried | 741 | 38% |
| Contractor | 156 | 8% |
Synthetic, aggregated. Reads HRIS org and position data read-only (e.g., Workday / SuccessFactors).
Cost & compensation
Where labor cost sits - by function and type - and the load behind it.
Labor cost by function read-only
Cost per FTE by function
| Function | Cost / FTE | Comp ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Engineering | $133K | 1.02 |
| Commercial | $113K | 0.98 |
| Supply chain | $84K | 1.01 |
| Production / ops | $70K | 1.04 |
| G&A | $96K | 0.97 |
Pay equity & structure
Synthetic, aggregated. Reads payroll + HRIS read-only (e.g., ADP / Workday); comp ratio = pay vs band midpoint. Advisory only.
Capacity & utilization
Whether the workforce is matched to the load - utilization, overtime, and capacity against demand.
Utilization by plant read-only
Capacity vs demand (next quarter)
| Area | Need (FTE) | Have | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Production - West | 432 | 398 | -34 |
| Controls engineering | 64 | 49 | -15 |
| Supply chain | 224 | 220 | -4 |
| Commercial | 158 | 170 | +12 |
Overtime trend by plant
Synthetic, aggregated. Reads time & attendance + planning read-only; utilization = productive hours / available hours.
Retention
Where attrition is rising and why - to retain people, framed at the function and cohort level, never the individual.
Attrition trend synthetic
Attrition by function
Drivers (aggregate, from exit signals)
| Driver | Share of exits |
|---|---|
| Career growth / advancement | 31% |
| Compensation | 24% |
| Workload / overtime | 19% |
| Manager / team | 14% |
| Other | 12% |
Synthetic, aggregated. Reads HRIS movement + anonymized exit/engagement signals read-only; cohort-level only, never individual.
Hiring & pipeline
The recruiting funnel and how fast roles fill against the plan.
Recruiting funnel (TTM) read-only
Time-to-fill by function
| Function | Open | Days |
|---|---|---|
| Controls engineering | 15 | 68 |

Source quality
| Source | Hires | Quality |
|---|---|---|
| Referrals | 58 | high |
| Direct sourcing | 44 | high |
| Job boards | 38 | medium |
| Agencies | 28 | medium |
Synthetic, aggregated. Reads the ATS read-only (e.g., Greenhouse / Lever); quality = 1-yr retention + ramp.
Skills & capability
Where capability is strong, where the gaps are, and how covered the critical roles are.
Skill gaps vs demand read-only
Critical-role coverage
| Role family | Coverage | Bench |
|---|---|---|
| Plant leadership | 100% | 2-deep |
| Controls engineering | 76% | thin |
| Quality / compliance | 94% | 1-deep |
| Supply chain mgmt | 88% | 1-deep |
Development & mobility
Synthetic, aggregated. Reads HRIS skills / LMS read-only; gaps computed against capacity plan, not verdicts.
Org & span
Organizational shape - layers, span of control, and manager ratios.
Span of control by layer read-only
Org health
Notes
Synthetic, aggregated. Reads HRIS org hierarchy read-only; span = direct reports per manager.
Productivity
Output relative to labor - revenue per employee and labor efficiency, by plant.
Revenue per employee synthetic
Labor efficiency by plant
| Plant | Output / hr (idx) | Trend |
|---|---|---|
| DET-01 | 104 | up |
| STG-02 | 101 | up |
| OSK-03 | 93 | flat |
Notes
Synthetic, aggregated. Reads MES / time + financials read-only; productivity framed as output and capability, not displacement.
Integrations & data
What would power Workforce Intelligence - the read-only sources, the shared collections, and the privacy posture.
HR connectors
| Source | System family | Access | Conformance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Workday | HRIS / core HR | read-only | 0 / 12 (planned) |
| SuccessFactors | HRIS | read-only | 0 / 12 (planned) |
| Greenhouse / Lever | ATS / recruiting | read-only | 0 / 12 (planned) |
| ADP | Payroll | read-only | 0 / 12 (planned) |
| Kronos / UKG | Time & attendance | read-only | 0 / 12 (planned) |
Shared collections (read-only, aggregated)
Privacy posture
Status. HR connectors are planned, not built - scaffolds would report 0 / 12 until wired and conformed. Because this domain handles employee PII, the design is read-only, aggregated, role-gated, and PII-minimized by default. AssetShop never changes pay or employment, never monitors individuals, and frames workforce intelligence as planning and augmentation - not displacement.
Signals & opportunities
Workforce signals across retention, hiring, cost, and capability - read-only from HRIS, ATS, and time systems. No PII edits, no actions taken. Figures synthetic (Meridian Industrials).
