The purpose of this study is to develop an objective methodology for the systemic analysis and evaluation of human resource potential at defense industry enterprises. The proposed approach addresses existing shortcomings—such as methodological inconsistency, subjectivity of expert assessments, and incompatibility of heterogeneous indicators—by introducing a two module framework. The analytical module employs Principal Component Analysis to extract key motivational, qualitative, and quantitative factors affecting HR potential. The evaluation module utilizes the Euclidean Distance method within a benchmarking context to compute composite and integral HR potential scores. This dual module methodology ensures formalization, transparency, comparability of results, and sensitivity to enterprise specific statistical data. Findings enable management to identify bottlenecks, benchmark against standards or competitors, and implement targeted measures for workforce development and organizational stability.
