Carmen Manpower is designed to operate as an integral part of crew planning.
Carmen Manpower uses production pairings when available, to estimate the production
demand. Carmen Manpower also tells crew planning how much production can be
assigned to each base or crew group, how many mixed fleet type pairings that
can be managed etc. Approximate pairings can also be created to support the
long-term planning. Even if these pairings will never be flown, they still
represent a better estimate of future demand compared with average productivity
numbers for flights or aircraft.
By introducing optimization for planning of transition, courses and vacations,
it is often possible to reduce head count. Other consequences can typically
be better timed recruitment and better utilization of simulators.
Having access to manpower decision support tools, it is possible to implement
changes faster. Close access to results and data from other optimization systems
such as Carmen Crew Pairing and Carmen Crew Rostering will also provide overall
cost control for the complete crew planning process.
Seniority is the guiding principal when awarding new positions. Of course,
all other company-specific rules and regulations are also checked and verified;
for instance, it may be stipulated that crew members may not change position
until they have worked at least 18 months at their current position.
Any number of scenarios can be managed. Long-term scenarios evaluating
the effect of different fleet compositions and schedules can be explored.
Shorter term scenarios exploring different sick leave or vacation scenarios
are also easily created. The effect on crew availability created by different
crew agreements can also be explored. Simulation capability becomes even more
powerful if scenarios are explored together in Carmen Manpower, Carmen Crew
Pairing and Carmen Crew Rostering.
Operational planning changes are easy to adjust. For example, flight schedule
changes or changes in crew availability may make the current manpower plan
impracticable. The user can easily explore and evaluate various scenarios
on how training and unassigned vacation can be moved in order to generate
a feasible solution.
