All Carmen products share certain basic components; an optimizer, a modelling
language for legality, costs and quality (Carmen Rave), a report generator
(Carmen Rave Publisher) and full customization abilities of system details.
The optimizer makes it possible to rapidly test many different scenarios
and control important solution properties (e.g. achieving low costs, while
trying to preserve check-in times, block hours and granted crew requests
from the original roster). The optimizer can also be used to award trip
trades between crew members, or simply to investigate if there is room
for additional flights.
The Rave language handles legality as well as quality and cost aspects.
Usage varies from adding new quality control parameters and carrying out
minor simulations, to rewriting and evaluating entire agreements. Our
clients appreciate the short lead times for introducing changes to the
system. But an even more important aspect is that Rave allows changes
to be made by the client. Because new rules or quality constraints can
be tested within a few hours, this puts the client in direct control of
an ever-changing operation.
The report generator enables reports to be added at any time (e.g. cost
statistics, stability statistics and hotel bookings). Reports can be displayed
on screen or on paper. The report generator also creates text data files
that can be used to interface surrounding systems.
With Rave, the client can constantly change quality, legality and cost
aspects. The report generator makes it possible to add new reports. Colours
and objects in the graphic user interface can also be customized to visualize
a solution’s most important features..
