Define scope
Select the proper crew population and download the active plan from the database. The user can work with the common database or create a local copy. The local copy can be used to create or evaluate separate fallback scenarios.
 
Select
Use the graphical user interface to view changed rosters, illegal rosters and uncovered production. The user can always see the difference between the current rosters, the roster as it is known by the crew member and the originally published roster. Changes, such as new activity codes, changed flights or new activities, are easy to see.
 
Solve
It is possible to build rosters interactively or use the optimizer for repair suggestions. Automatic legality controls are carried out during all roster manipulations. It is also possible to relax quality rules in a controlled manner. When repairing rosters with the optimizer the user can imitate important working patterns from the published rosters (e.g. similar block times, similar check-in times, the same layovers and preservation of granted bids).
 
Evaluate
The same reports available in Carmen Crew Rostering for evaluating costs, quality, stability, fairness and bids, are available. The reports also contain additional information on how changes are distributed.
 
Communicate
Even though a solution is known internally by the planning department, the external publication can be postponed until a critical date is reached or a final confirmation is obtained. This makes it possible to respond rapidly to changes, while minimally disturbing the organization. When the changes are published crew communications, re-booking hotels, flight tickets and meal loading can be handled automatically.
