RM Rocade Offering Airlines New Application to Analyze Disruption Costs

RM Rocade has joined forces with CEFIS, a London-based company, to offer an integrated tool to help airlines understand the costs associated with flight disruptions and schedule adjustments.

CEFIS has developed software that links the actual costs of operational anomalies such as delays, cancellations, diversions, and aircraft substitutions, to their root causes, such as technical problems, air traffic control, weather and lack of a qualified crew. 

The two companies believe the CEFIS system can significantly improve operational analysis and planning by providing more detailed information about these problems, which currently is often incomplete or even non-existent after the occurrence.  Besides providing operational managers more insight into these events, the system includes a decision support tool which can help managers do what-if analysis to help formulate better tactical and strategic responses to future irregular operations.

According to RM Rocade, CEFIS can facilitate the integration of a wide variety of airline data across a full range of data storage technologies.  Presently, CEFIS can automatically import SSIM files, an industry-standard source of up-to-date schedule information, which can be used along with RM Rocade’s operations control (ROC) data.  03-08-2004.
