GOL, the Intelligent Airline, with headquarters in São Paulo in Brazil, and operating some 143 Boeing 737s, just recently decided to enhance their crew planning process by acquiring the Boeing Alertness Model (BAM).
"We decided to go with BAM in order to get away from repeatedly tearing up our planning results at the end of our process. We realized that keeping adding rules was not the way forward for us", says Daniel Cortez, Head of Analytics & Scheduling at GOL. "Instead, we needed to have good incentives built into the planning process itself. We now expect to both reduce our planning times quite a bit, whilst also addressing the risk much more precisely and in balance with other planning objectives", he concludes.
"We are moved and proud to see GOL select us for FRM. Jeppesen and GOL share a long history in crew planning, and it is satisfying to see that BAM will now also be part of their setup", says Jaime Castelblanco, Regional Sales Director at Jeppesen. "We look forward to working with the tremendously competent team at GOL on implementing this solution in the coming weeks", he concludes.
The Boeing Alertness Model is unique in the ability of guiding crew planning optimizers in real-time, producing results with much lower overall risk compared to what can be achieved manually. Read more about the secret behind pro-active risk reduction here.
