According to Quintiq, yesterdays rostering tools and spreadsheet planning processes are no longer fit for purpose. They struggle to span the different demands of long term strategic planning, tactical scheduling and real-time operational control. The increasing complexity of maintaining high safety and service levels while facing a shortage of qualified Air Traffic Control Officers is forcing Air Navigation Services Providers to re-evaluate their planning systems, says Arjen Heeres, COO of Quintiq. This makes it a perfect opportunity to raise the stakes and explore more advanced solutions that can add value all along the chain. Modern, advanced systems, for example, should be able to provide scenario management the ability to create what if scenarios, using different knowledge bases and assumptions to evaluate the implications of different planning decisions.

The White Paper describes why planning and scheduling solutions need to be aligned with corporate strategy, allowing managers to exercise strong business control using built-in KPIs that can, in turn, be fine tuned as the business model changes. The paper examines the benefits of real-time planning and the way it can be used to alert planners of the implications of their decisions, as they are made. Above all, it is a very readable document that within fifteen minutes will bring senior managers up to date with the very latest thinking, says Heeres.
