GOTEBORG, Sweden, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ — Jeppesen has signed an
agreement with Lufthansa to provide its Carmen Crew Management System
(CMS). The project will start during the fall this year. Carmen CMS
provides airlines with improved crew scheduling flexibility and an
integrated crew management process which lowers operating costs.

“With Carmen CMS from Jeppesen, we can benefit considerably from the
advantages of having the entire crew management process sharing the same
optimization, legality, quality definitions, visualization, data and
analysis tools,” said Jens Appel, vice president Crew Planning at
Lufthansa. “The Carmen Crew Management System from Jeppesen will improve
the decisions being made in the crew planning process, all the way from the
long-term pairing analysis to the detailed decisions made on the day of
operation.”

“We are very proud to be selected by Lufthansa as the provider of an
integrated crew management solution,” said Thomas Wede, Jeppesen senior
vice president and general manager, Commercial and Military Aviation.
“Lufthansa and Jeppesen have a long business relationship, and the airline
is one of the most advanced users of our optimization tools. This new
contract is one of our largest in recent years, and it will extend our
partnership with Lufthansa significantly, something we all at Jeppesen are
very proud of.”

Carmen CMS covers the administration of all crew data and business
rules, and contains modules for optimizing pairings and crew rosters, tools
for maintaining optimum rosters, as well as support for detecting and
mitigating operational problems. Even though the system consists of
standardized modules shared with many other airlines, the architecture
still allows a highly customized behavior of the user interface, data
interfaces, business rules and optimizers. The architecture also supports a
low risk transition from older legacy systems.

Lufthansa, one of the leading airlines in the world, has successfully
been using Jeppesen’s Carmen Crew Pairing product since the early 1990’s.
The airline is currently using the software to solve variable crew problems
with over 35,000 flights monthly, making it one of the world’s most
challenging planning problems.
