Quality Management Software Solutions for Airline/Air Safety

 
The airline/air safety industry is amongst the larger and growing industries, playing a major role in aiding economic growth, world trade, international investment and tourism and is therefore central to the globalization taking place in many other industries.

Airlines face numerous compliance challenges, including complying with regulations and initiatives set forth by the IATA, FAA, Transport Canada and similar regulatory bodies. In addition to demonstrating safety compliance to IATA airline firms must also exemplify their conformity to safety standards to other members of IATA - airlines continuously audit each other's operations. With all of the events occurring within an airline firm whether it is a safety, environmental, quality, or financial issue, this creates a need for an Integrated Airline Management System (IAMS). An effective IAMS would be a seamless integrated system that is easy to use and would effectively manage your airline operations in accordance with the standards set forth by the regulatory bodies of the airline/air safety industry.

Furthermore, The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has outlined a mandatory implementation of a Safety Management System (SMS) by 2009. This demand for an SMS has created a need for a seamless application that will not only maintain compliance with safety initiatives, but do so in a centralized and reportable environment.

EtQ for Airlines is an integrated quality and compliance management system that has been pre-configured to specifically address the needs of the airline industry and maintain compliance to the standards set by the regulatory bodies of aviation industry. EtQ's unique modular approach provides unparalleled flexibility and automation.
 

Challenges Facing the Airline/Air Safety Industry

 

Unified, Risk-Based Process for Airline Management
Beyond Safety, airlines carriers must handle business process across multiple disciplines, including Quality, Safety, Environmental, Security, Financial and more. This Integrated Airline Management System (IAMS), spans many departments and are often related to each other. EtQ's Risk-Based system encompasses all areas of the organization, using a quantitative risk matrix that enables reporting across multiple departments. As a result, a single incident can be rolled up into one master incident report, providing a total risk for each department, and associated actions to be taken for each event within the system. This unified process for handling IAMS issues results in an efficient system, where no time is lost, no problem overlooked, and are easily reported up the management chain.


Collaborative, Enterprise Environment
Large airlines with multiple divisions typically have independent, hybrid systems in place. Bridging the gap between these systems is inefficient in the long-term, and ultimately will require expensive customizations to link the enterprise. Re-routing documents, meeting to discuss integration strategy, and IT man-hours in customizations result in lost time and money. EtQ's Quality Management Software is designed to incorporate the whole enterprise in collaborating at the enterprise level, while maintaining each division's independent business workflow. Using tools such as the EtQ Data Center, divisional elements can be configured in centralized environment and deployed to the enterprise, easily and effectively. This centralized resource can rapidly implement multiple sites, roll up reporting and provide increased visibility across the enterprise.

Safety Management System
EtQ's integrated Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Management System provides a closed loop process in recording and reporting on Environmental, Heath and Safety events within the system. EtQ's unique system is designed to prioritize and minimize the number of high-risk events using an advanced risk-based filtering model. This system automatically segregates and categorizes events at the source, uses quantitative risk assessment throughout the process guiding decision making, and features a comprehensive corrective action and effectiveness check plan with risk mitigation history. EtQ uses over twenty best-in-class integrated modules and enterprise application integration to manage and measure quality and compliance processes and execute organizational change.
