Workforce

On-site labour management — induction, biometric attendance, inducted vs present, statutory compliance, vendor master, labour skills.

What it is

WMS is the system of record for the thousands of construction workers deployed at every active project / plant. Every worker is inducted through site gate, biometrically tracked daily, and statutorily verified. WMS makes vendor deployment commitments auditable in real time.

Inputs

Triggers

·Vendor is appointed for a project and submits initial worker roster
·Worker arrives at site gate for induction
·Daily biometric punch event
·Vendor labour deployment update
·Statutory compliance audit cycle
·Trade-wise deployment review

Data reads

·Vendor master from VMS · (Vendor Management System) with current engagement and commitment
·WO labour commitment from VMS · (Vendor Management System) (M14 · Tendering) and Project schedule (M16 · Schedule).
·Worker master (induction history across projects)
·Statutory requirements (PF, ESIC, age, identity)

Artefacts consumed

·Worker KYC documents (ID, age proof, Adhar, Bank Account details, Police verification, Skills /trade, photo)
·Biometric punch data from gate-mounted camera
·Vendor labour roster declarations
·PF/ESIC registration status from vendor
·Trade certification documents where applicable

Tools & Techniques

Methods

·Onboarding workflow with KYC, age verification, biometric enrollment
·Real-time biometric attendance integrated with vendor and trade tagging
·Deployment tracking — inducted vs actual and planned vs actual per vendor per trade per day
·Variance computation with vendor-side accountability
·Pattern detection — ghost workers, undercount, sudden churn, early warning flag
·Trade adequacy analysis against project schedule stage
·Statutory compliance auto-checks on every punch

Policies

·EHS policy (PF, ESIC, age, identity verification)

Decision rules

·No induction → no site access (flag to block entry)
·Deployment shortfall >20% triggers review
·Repeat ghost-worker pattern flags vendor for empanelment review
·Trade adequacy gap >15% triggers escalation

Outputs

Artefacts produced

·Verified worker master per project
·Daily attendance log per vendor per trade
·Deployment variance report (committed vs actual)
·Trade adequacy assessment
·Statutory compliance status snapshot per vendor
·Bill-workflow input — verified labour count for monthly billing

Data writes

·Vendor labour performance updated continuously in VMS · Vendor Management System
·Project labour utilization metric updated to CM
·Statutory compliance status updated to billing workflow

Downstream triggers

·Statutory lapse holds bill workflow in M21 · Billing
·Labour shortage flags schedule risk in M16 · Schedule
·Repeat deployment underrun feeds VMS · Vendor Management System in M13 · Vendor Management System
·Trade adequacy gap triggers procurement escalation in M14 · Tendering

Stakeholders

Site EngineerOwns vendor deployment vs daily reality on the ground
Vendor Site RepSubmits roster, induction documents, manages worker churn
CM PMOReviews deployment adequacy against schedule commitments
CPTHolds vendors accountable for deployment commitments
EHS OfficerCross-references workforce with safety induction status
Time OfficerOnboarding, Record Keeping, Daily operations
Statutory ComplianceConfirms PF, ESIC, age, ID verification daily

The flow

01Vendor is apponinted for a project by CPT
02Vendor submits worker roster with KYC documents
03Workers report at site gate for induction
04Induction — Module verifies identity, age, statutory compliance, safety training
05Biometric enrollment — face photo captured
06Daily punch-in at site gate against biometric
07Trade-wise deployment captured (Mason, Carpenter, Electrician, etc.)
08Variance computed — vendor commitment vs actual punched-in count
09Trade adequacy assessed against schedule needs
10Statutory compliance verified daily (PF, ESIC, age, ID)
11Daily deployment report aggregated per project per vendor per trade
12Anomalies flagged — ghost workers, capacity overruns, compliance gaps

State change

Before

Vendor self-reports labour count on monthly bills. Ghost workers go undetected.

After

Every worker punched in is real and verified. Vendor deployment vs commitment surfaces daily. Statutory compliance is continuous, not periodic. Bills auto-correlate to biometric truth. Incentives are given based on continuous day of work.

Artefacts

·Worker master register per project per vendor
·Daily biometric attendance log
·Trade-wise deployment report (daily, weekly, monthly)
·Variance report (committed vs actual)
·Statutory compliance status per worker
·Ghost worker detection log
