GHS-PLANNING
Long before any operations can start, a multitude of planning processes have to take place. Slot capacity planning,
flight scheduling and calculation of resource demands in the long-, medium- and short-term all have to be covered by
precise planning procedures. Immobile resources (such as aircraft stands, gates or check-in counters), ground support
equipment, personnel or, ideally, the combination of the above, all have to be covered here.
Integrated Software Tools for Shift Planning and Resource Assignment for Aircraft Handling
GHS-PLANNING calculates the short-, mid- and long-term resource requirements for staff and equipment in the area of
ground handling. After landing and before take off, every airline requires various ground handling tasks to be
performed such the disembarking and embarking of their passengers, the handling of baggage, cargo and of the aircraft
itself. Additionally, there is the check-in of the passengers, bus transfer for passengers and crew members, unloading
and loading of the aircraft, re-fueling, water and toilet services, etc. These tasks are mostly performed by ground
handling companies or an airline. To cover the workload, the ground handler requires a certain amount of qualified
staff and related equipment. The development of a long-term plan requires figures of the future demand on personnel
and equipment. GHS-PLANNING ensures that the appropriate business rules are applied to automatically generate simulated,
analytical or real-life scenarios. Going beyond the determination of future personnel requirements, GHS-PLANNING includes
shift-modelling mechanisms to provide the basis for optimized staff utilization and to feed the GHS-ROSTERING process.
