Quintiq Lands Contract With US FAA Worth up to $17.6 Million


WAYNE, Pennsylvania, April 21/ PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --



navigation service provider (ANSP) responsible for controlling all airspace 

in the USA, has awarded a contract to Quintiq for Air Traffic Control 

employee scheduling with the integrated Quintiq Workforce Planning Solution 


software will provide an objective method for evaluating staffing required 

for safe and efficient operations at the FAA's Air Traffic Control 

facilities. 

    

    Quintiq is a global supplier of advanced planning, scheduling and 

supply chain optimization software solutions. This is an indefinite 

quantity contract, awarded for a period of nine and a half years with a 

potential maximum value of USD 17.6 million. 


    Choosing a proven leader 


    "The FAA selected Quintiq because of its proven market leadership in 

providing employee scheduling software for complex environments," states 

Victor Allis, CEO at Quintiq. "Our extensive experience in the air traffic 

control industry and ability to deliver best practices around workforce 

optimization for air traffic control organizations were key to the FAA's 

decision to utilize Quintiq software." 


    Employee scheduling across the planning lifecycle 


    The Quintiq employee scheduling software provides FAA managers with an 

optimal software solution over the full scheduling horizon. Advanced 

optimization engines and extensive "what-if" capabilities will improve the 

FAA's long-term workforce planning; using what-if scenarios, managers will 

be able to experiment with resource allocation options and make more 

informed decisions with the goal of optimizing staffing levels while 

continuing to ensure safe and efficient operations. 


    In addition, the Quintiq "off-the-shelf" system has many advanced 

capabilities that the FAA may utilize to manage annual leave planning, 

efficiently create shift plans, allocate shifts to individual employees, 

and support short-term absenteeism management (sick leave, short-term leave

). The software supports a range of self-service concepts for employees, 

such as swapping shifts with colleagues and requesting leave, by helping 

managers evaluate the feasibility and implications of each request. 


    Joachim Arts, in charge of Marketing & Sales for Quintiq in North 

America, added: "The selection of Quintiq by such a large organization as 

the FAA is the strongest possible vote of confidence in our software. It 

proves that Quintiq can deliver significant efficiency gains in large and 

complex organizations, especially in the government sector. Leveraging our 

unmatched expertise and experience, we will keep developing highly 

innovative scheduling applications for other federal institutions, to help 

them contain and reduce costs and to provide the much-needed efficiency 

improvements that government organizations around the world are looking for."
