Day 3 - 22 March
Session: Increasing Airport Capacity

11:25 - 11:55 - Full visibility: moving from reference week to full seasonal planning
Synopsis: In the past, technical constraints limited seasonal planning to a single reference week. Selecting the week that constituted the best fit for all processors was a big challenge. Despite substantial analysis there was great uncertainty for each processor about how that reference week stood in relation to the rest of the season. As a result, resource planning for the various processors was very much based on the previous year and the seasonal planning process was of limited value. New-generation planning tools enable a seasonal planning process to reach its full potential and deliver a true value-add to the organisation,

Audience will learn:

• How to change seasonal planning from a reference day/week to full season
• Impact on the corresponding data preparation
• Value of full seasonal planning
• Tools to be used to cover the business requirements
