crew utilisation
Overview
'Crew Utilisation' is an evolving tool that uses existing data from planned and actual activities to provide detailed Management Intelligence to support analysis and decision making in the planning process.
The Crew Utilisation module provides information from both planned and flown activities for all crewmembers such as: Planned versus flown - tracks the impacts to the crewmembers' rosters due to daily changes and aids in identifying the reasons for these impacts.

The Benefits
- Provides details of crew utilization for review and future planning
- Facilitates crew management with capacity to optimise crew utilisation consistent with the maintenance of 'fairness' in rosters
- Tracks the number of times crewmembers are called from standby
- Identifies key reasons for under-utilisation of crews
- Analyses the incidence and nature of 'changes' to crew rosters
- Provides basis of performance comparison for crew bases

The Improvements
- Better establishment forecasting through understand use of reserve and standby
- Improved quality roster planning through understanding duty statistics for overnight trips, etc
- Improved 'On Time Performance' by better comprehension of disruption causes
- Clearer view of balance and quality in roster
