Effec­tive sched­ul­ing has always played a piv­otal role in the pur­suit of net­work profitability.

But with intense com­pe­ti­tion and pres­sure on mar­gins, the effi­cien­cy and effec­tive­ness of the sched­ul­ing process is increas­ing­ly the sub­ject of clos­er and clos­er scruti­ny with­in airlines.

So how can you be sure that your process is fit for pur­pose in the face of mount­ing com­mer­cial pressure?

For APM’s com­mer­cial direc­tor, Michael O’Sullivan, soft­ware that com­ple­ments your sched­ul­ing process can prove to be a make-or-break fac­tor for profitability.

Michael explains: “Soft­ware shouldn’t sim­ply sup­port an exist­ing sched­ul­ing process. Instead it should be an asset that helps air­lines trans­form the way they are able to plan, oper­ate and review sched­ule per­for­mance to max­imise margins.”

“At APM, we set out to cre­ate a suite of appli­ca­tions that do just that – seam­less inte­gra­tion that deliv­ers an effort­less user expe­ri­ence which is capa­ble of mak­ing a pos­i­tive con­tri­bu­tion to an airline’s bottom-line.”

In fact, APM has pro­duced an 17-point ‘Sched­ul­ing process prof­itabil­i­ty check­list’ that illus­trates how APM’s suite of inte­grat­ed avi­a­tion soft­ware enhances the sched­ul­ing process.

Michael con­tin­ues: “At APM, the inte­gra­tion of our sched­ul­ing, crew­ing, com­mer­cial and oper­a­tional appli­ca­tions with – based on core opti­mized sched­ule sets – mean that our soft­ware can not only com­ple­ment sched­ul­ing process­es but help air­lines dri­ve greater effi­cien­cies too.”

“Whether you want to test the most prof­itable sce­nar­ios using Sched­uleS­im, Prof­it­Sim and CrewSim, or sim­ply man­age slots in live pro­duc­tion with Sched­ule­Plan­ner, it’s the com­bi­na­tion of fea­ture-rich inte­gra­tion with effort­less user expe­ri­ence that’s the recipe for increased net­work profitability.”

But what’s the benefit to users?

Michael says: “For indi­vid­ual users there are few­er workarounds, few­er appli­ca­tion win­dows to switch between or quit and open, plus instan­ta­neous avail­abil­i­ty of live data for both pro­duc­tion and sim­u­la­tion appli­ca­tions across the APM suite.”

“Put sim­ply – APM means your sched­ul­ing process is easier.”

And airlines themselves?

Michael explains: “Inte­grat­ed sched­ul­ing, crew­ing, flight­watch and com­mer­cial appli­ca­tions – built around core sched­ule sets – enables the swifter flow of accu­rate, time­ly and reli­able infor­ma­tion between teams involved in the sched­ul­ing process.”

“Ulti­mate­ly our appli­ca­tions are a vital aid to both strate­gic and oper­a­tional deci­sion-mak­ing – whether that’s the plan­ning of the sched­ule for the whole sea­son or the oper­a­tion of a sin­gle flight.”
