MCP Workforce Management - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

MCP Workforce Management is workforce planning software designed specifically for manufacturing. It connects production demand with workforce availability, qualifications, shifts and absences to make workforce capacity an integral part of production planning.

The solution helps manufacturers identify workforce constraints before they affect production execution. Production planners can see whether sufficient qualified employees are available for planned operations and assign employees manually, with system assistance or automatically.

Key capabilities include workforce capacity planning, workforce scheduling, skill and qualification management, shift planning, absence management, qualification-based workforce assignment and automated workforce deployment.

Unlike general-purpose workforce management solutions, MCP Workforce Management focuses on the operational requirements of manufacturing. It complements existing production planning environments rather than replacing them, helping manufacturers create production plans that are supported by the required workforce and skills.

MCP Workforce Management can integrate with APS, ERP and MES environments. Integration options include REST APIs, OData and CSV-based data exchange, with deep integration available for Siemens Opcenter APS.

Single Sign-On is supported via OpenID Connect, including Microsoft Entra ID. The solution can be hosted by MCP in Austria or deployed on-premises.

By connecting production planning with workforce reality, manufacturers gain earlier visibility into workforce bottlenecks, reduce manual coordination between planning and operations and create more realistic and executable production plans.
