We have expertise and bespoke modelling and optimisation tools covering security, ground handling, PRM support, cabin cleaning, air traffic control and other airport roles.
Examples of our recent work in aviation.
As part of their response to post-COVID workload and efficiency challenges at one of the UK’s largest airports, our client sought Adventis’ expertise in 2022 to evaluate cabin cleaner resourcing requirements.
Using bottom-up modelling to calculate workload and staffing requirements under a range of productivity scenarios, Adventis compiled and presented a set of analytical findings, with observations and recommendations.
These insights and related discussions helped optimise staffing plans, and also helped align understanding, priorities, expectations with commercial stakeholders.
Our client - a service supplier - wanted to review its PRM staffing plans in a drive to optimise efficiency and performance.
Adventis worked with the business to map PRM tasks, forecast PRM demand and calculate staffing requirements, comparing results to existing workforce targets and rosters, and prioritising areas for refinement.
These insights provided the basis for a revised operational plan, satisfying commercial stakeholders, and Adventis delivered an additional roster planning tool to map shifts to weekly demand.
One of the UK’s largest airports wanted to re-plan security staff rosters to better match the passenger demand profile and to meet staff requirements.
After bottom-up modelling security lane demand, Adventis built and evaluated shift-and-roster suites against a balanced scorecard, and worked with airport management to refine and evidence a preferred option.
The staff rosters were successfully implemented, improving both performance and efficiency, and Adventis provided hands-on support to refine the solution to accommodate new technology and team working models.
A leading international airline wanted robust staff and equipment plans for its new ground handling operation at Gatwick.
Drawing on our proven ground handling demand and resource model, Adventis calculated task workload, shift and FTE requirements for all ground handling front-line and management roles, designed staff rosters, and supported the implementation project through to completion.
The new operation was a success, and Adventis developed a range of time-saving tools that continue to support the weekly staff planning process.
