Aviation Fuel Decision Support

BMB


Many airlines know they can realize anywhere from 3 to 15 percent of additional savings through fuel conservation. However, the key challenge is to be able to measure and track where these savings come from. Aviation Fuel Decision Support (AFDS) is the solution that can turn hypothetical savings targets into reality.

AFDS is unique in being able to address all aspects of aviation fuel management decision support:

  • Operational efficiencies and conservation: Multidimensional performance analysis by sector, origin, destination, aircraft, captain, and dispatcher to manage sophisticated fuel conservation programs embracing flight operations, planning, dispatch, engineering, and maintenance.
  • Supply: Strategic sourcing, procurement, price risk management, payables reconciliation, and quality assurance.
  • Environment: Pollution reporting and tracking by aircraft fleet, type, tail number, engine type, sector, region, and more.

Benefits

AFDS is a complete fuel decision support solution that provides tailored, flexible information to anyone in the airline industry. Solution users include flight operations, dispatch, pilots, fleet management, station management, fuel management, performance engineering, procurement, and finance.  

AFDS allows airlines to measure, track, and optimize efficiencies in all areas including:

  • Zero fuel weight management
  • Captain / pilot performance and technique
  • Sector fuel optimization
  • Delay reduction (origins, destinations, and alternates)
  • Weight reduction
  • APU use reduction
  • Dispatch performance
  • Aircraft fuel burn performance

Features

AFDS includes portals, RS-generated dashboards, a library of cube views (conservation, procurement, financials, time-performance, and emissions), scorecards, query studio, and ad hoc reporting.

Dozens of pre-designed reports are also provided (flights, sectors, A/C type, captain, disptacher, origin, destination, cost of weight, on-time performance, zero fuel weight)

Architecture

AFDS relies on an automated transfer of data from airline source systems (such as ACARS, FMS, and ERP) into the industry standard AFDS BI-ready data model. Cognos provides the airline employee interaction layer.

Since AFDS can accommodate large volumes of data at the lowest level of detail, it enables powerful time trend analyses against a wide range of dimensions and measures.
