Workforce Optimisation – The Juran Staffing Index©
The Juran Staffing Index© (JSI) enables you to establish the optimal size of your workforce across your assets, taking into account their size, technology, configuration and complexity by indexing the number of people (own staff & third parties) in your asset’s workforce against the industry's pacesetters.
HOW CAN YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE THE CORRECT WORKFORCE SIZE?
Today’s business environment for upstream, midstream and downstream businesses is controlling their largest fixed cost – workforce. Achieving this poses several challenges, including:
- Not knowing if your asset is staffed optimally
- Needing to achieve improved efficiency but not knowing which areas to focus on and what targets to set
- Adjusting your workforce correctly when your asset is expanding or being partially decommissioned.
- Justifying your plans and decisions to stakeholders without impartial data to back them

RIGHT SIZE YOUR WORKFORCE
Are your staffing levels too high, too low or just right? The JSI© will give you an impartial measure of the efficiency of your workforce that is backed by data from your industry peers and that is justifiable to all of your stakeholders.
STAFF NEW OR MODIFIED ASSETS OPTIMALLY
Whether you are working to commission a wholly new plant or are expanding or modifying an existing one, the Juran Staffing Index will tell you exactly what optimal workforce levels look like.
