We are still pioneers
The recipe for our success is quite simple. We create maximum value for our clients by finding the best possible solutions for their problems, as quickly as possible. This sounds obvious, but it involves a delicate compromise. The challenge is to balance conflicting objectives with finding the most costeffective solutions. To do this we provide algorithms that allow us to address problems of a magnitude never looked at before.

We develop and integrate new concepts
Carmen's products have always been at the leading edge in terms of modeling and optimization capability. In the early 90s, we were the first to solve fullydated crew pairings directly. The powerful Carmen rule modeling language was also introduced. This innovation, that allows clients to carry out extensive scenario testing, was a brilliant achievement by Carmen's engineers. In the mid 90s, our fleet scheduling product was successfully applied to problem dimensions that had been out of reach before. Today, we are still pioneers as we develop and integrate new concepts for guaranteeing maximum crew satisfaction and simultaneous optimization of crews, fleets and timetables.

International team of optimization developers and experts
We joined Carmen because of Carmen“s strong commitment to deliver the best products in resource optimization. For us, it is an honour and obligation to continue this tradition of excellence in the future. As part of Carmen's international team of optimization developers and experts, and in collaboration with our R&D; partners from leading universities and industries, we take on this challenge with confidence and enthusiasm. Our greatest satisfaction is to see our optimization technology bringing value to the world's leading airlines.
