KLM: ROYAL DUTCH AIRLINES

KLM required a flexible solution to manage the aspects of medium- and long-term pilot staffing. Quintiq was selected to provide an advanced pilot transition, vacation, and simulator planning system for KLM operating on tactical and strategic planning level.

With DELMIA Quintiq, KLM was able to reduce the amount of time spent planning transitions, create overview and insight in a very complex long-term planning puzzle and provide a single data platform for managing pilot demand and supply. DELMIA Quintiq continued to help KLM increase efficiency in a second project: optimizing KLM’s workforce planning for pilot management. KLM planners used to require one month to develop a five-year plan, which they can now create overnight.
