Are we obliged to use Carmen optimization software in order to benefit from the analysis?
No. The study will relate all costs to what would be possible if only the industrial regulations were applied. This means that no matter what system you use for production planning, the estimated cost impact of changing the base structure will still be valid.

Can you help us during our union negotiations?
Yes. On several occasions we have helped airlines in union negotiations by understanding the impact and reaching an agreement before signing. We have had valuable experience in several different roles.

Can you introduce specific agreement changes into the study to help us create a business case?
Yes. We can expand our planning software to include any regulation or quality constraint. We can further introduce any changes in legal, quality or cost factors, in order to obtain an exact assessment of cost impact.

Can you investigate the trade-off between using a minimum crew and minimizing direct costs such as hotels and travel allowances?
Yes. We can create scenarios where either required crew or direct costs are minimized. These two scenarios can then be compared with a third scenario where crew size and direct costs are minimized simultaneously.

What is the required level of involvement from our organization?
This depends very much on your needs. Most of the information required for this study can be extracted from public sources or approximated by us, based on our experience from working with similar studies. However the level of detail and the quality of the advice we can give you is, to some extent dependent on your ability to devote time to this project. Of course, the less exact the information put into the analysis, the less exact the results will be.
