Improvement potential - heard those words lately? Perhaps in your latest performance review? Kidding aside, are you aware of the gap between your current way of planning your crew, and 'best possible'? Or the gap between how you plan right now and how it would look if you were to plan only with the regulatory rules? There are many properties in such gaps that may be of interest to you: are you 4% short on crew efficiency, while planning with 15% higher fatigue risk? And how does robustness and direct costs compare? What 'smart' patterns can a state-of-the-art industry-strength optimizer find that your current process misses out on?
At Jeppesen we have, systematically over the course of thirty years, pushed and shifted the boundaries for how much computers can assist crew planners in their daily work. Since 1991 we have, step-by-step, improved our crew planning optimizers to deal with almost any type of complexity, at high speed, while providing operators with unmatched flexibility for also coping with change. For example, some ninety (90) operators are currently relying on the Jeppesen Crew Pairing optimizer for production runs, forecast planning and their what-if scenarios driving change.
Assuming you are not one of those 90 operators - are you not curious about your gap, quantifying what you are missing out on? Let us help you here; until the 9th of December we offer operators a free optimization run planning your own flights, for a calendar month of your choice. You will receive the full pairing solution and all critical KPIs reported on for the overall solution. You can then, all by yourself and at your own pace, compare these to your own solution for that month.
If you're interested, and do mind the gap, you just need to fill in this form. Welcome!
