printpdf Planning Module

The FuelPlus Planning Module assists in the calculation of fuel volume forecast and fuel budgets. The volume forecast is calculated using a user-defined collection of flight schedules and statistical or theoretical fuel data per leg and aircraft type. For fuel budget calculation the system uses the forecasted fuel volume per location in combination with effective location contracts.


Planning areas supported:

Flight Schedule Processing

  • Load theoretical consumption per leg / aircraft type: The system loads a data file containing theoretical fuel consumption data per A/C type and leg.
  • Load flight schedule: The system loads a data file containing a flight schedule in IATA SSIM format.
  • Report flight schedule: The user can retrieve a list of flight schedules available in the system.

Volume Planning

  • Create and maintain volume forecast plan: The user can create or delete a volume forecast plan.
  • Combine flight schedules: The user can add flight schedules to an individual volume forecast, and incorporate individual volume forecasts into an overall one.
  • Calculate volume forecast: The system calculates statistical fuel uplift and consumption as well as theoretical fuel consumption for all flights contained in an individual volume forecast plan.
  • Update confirmed volume forecast plan: The system updates the overall volume forecast with a calculated individual volume forecast.
  • Report volume forecast details: The user can retrieve the flight schedule entries of a volume forecast including all calculated fuel figures.

Fuel Budget Planning

  • Create and maintain fuel budget plan: The user can display, create, modify, or delete fuel budgets, which are used to calculate cost estimates for the required fuel.
  • Define reference month: The user can define the reference months from which the base prices and the base exchange rate values are taken for the calculation of the budget.
  • Define and maintain forward curve for energy quotation: The user can define and modify the expected monthly future product and add-on prices for all months covered by the fuel budget.
  • Define and maintain forward curve for exchange rate: The user can define and modify the expected monthly future exchange rates between the budget currency and the location contract currencies for all months covered by the fuel budget.
  • Calculate fuel budget plan: The system calculates a fuel budget based on defined budget parameters and a calculated volume forecast.
  • Report fuel budget plan by location: The user can retrieve the calculated fuel budget by location and month or total.
  • List budget per main category: The user can retrieve the calculated budget by main category.

Reporting

  • Report volume forecast by month: Display the planned fuel quantities based on a specific volume forecast or a specific budget.
  • Report actual and forecasted volumes: Display the differences between the actual and the forecasted volumes.
  • Report variance between actual and forecasted volume and costs: Display the differences concerning volumes, costs, and prices between the planned flight events and the actual flight events.
  • Special report Analyze impact of flight schedule changes: Create a report in which the differences between two forecasts are listed.
