5 Ways Our Operations Management System Makes Air Carriers More Efficient

In a tightly regulated industry where safety must always come first, it can be difficult to find real and measurable efficiency gains. However, at Scheduling Systems, Inc. we have a 30+ year track record of helping air carriers get more from their equipment and personnel.

Our entire business is built on the spirit of innovation, reliability, and improved results. So, how do airlines and cargo haulers use our Operations Management System (OMS) software platform to save time and money?

Below are five of the critical features that make all the difference…

#1 It Pulls Important Data Together

Air carriers rely on information about passengers, payloads, weather, and air traffic control to keep their planes moving on schedule. However, these data points all arrive from different sources. One of the biggest benefits of using our software is that you can gather and process incoming updates into a single hub so that nothing is missed.

#2 It Eliminates Information Overload

Factoring variables like weather, crew availability, maintenance requirements, and passenger movement into your flight schedule can seem like an impossible task. However, our OMS platform gives you access to all of this, and more, in an easy and intuitive graphical format. The net result is that you and your operations team can “see” what is happening in real time. That means you can reduce waste and improve the decision-making process.

#3 It Creates Better Collaboration

Our OMS platform makes it possible for a single user to see, process, and act on information more quickly and efficiently. Spread the effects over a team, a department, or an organization and the results can be transformative. That is because managers and groups can collaborate in real time, with each person getting access to the same data (with indicators and permissions that are relevant to their role).

#4 It Lets You Plan for the Unknown

By using OMS in sandbox mode (a dynamic “what if” situational planner), you can create hypothetical scenarios relating to weather, crew delays, air traffic control congestion, or several other factors. Then, you and your operations teams can prepare contingency plans, comment on them internally, and publish them as needed. That way, you are never left unprepared for the next challenge.

#5 It Can Speed Up Recovery From Disruptions

While using OMS cannot control the weather, it can be used to restore your fleet back to normal service as quickly as possible. Not only will you have instant access to all the data that would normally impact your schedule, but you will have the ability to coordinate efforts between maintenance, crews, etc., to minimize setbacks.
