EMOS uses any web browser to access the applications and data
running on EMOS server. The system uses secure Internet channels (https). All
administration tasks can be undertaken using the web browser interface; no
specific hardware or software is required to use the system.
EMOS
will provide a personalised view and include both global and variable content as
provided and maintained by the airline’s staff.
Engineering Notices
This aspect of the system satisfies JAR/CAA requirement for the
airline to distribute important safety/security and operational information to
engineers. Unlike the paper based system, this allows a full on-line audit
report to be available to managers and the regulator. Notices appear on the
system instantly; for safety or security information the timeliness of these
messages is crucial and unmatched by paper based processes.
Notices can be published to defined staff roles and assigned to
categories in text, PDF or FlashPaper format.
Engineers (or
any accountable role) can acknowledge/sign for notices.
Electronic Library
The on-line reference library replaces the practice of producing
and distributing company manuals on CD Rom or paper. The
on-line library contains the definitive collection of books and can be
referenced securely anywhere with an Internet connection. Automatic archiving of
participating manuals is also achieved thereby satisfying JAR/CAA requirements.
EMOS is also able to provide a secure single-sign-on solution to external
technical libraries hosted by third party library service providers.
Report System
The report system is a highly structured and auditable way to
provide feedback to selected managers about important aspects of the operation. The system allows the author
to remain involved in the process and provides a structured data source which
can then be used to construct audits which highlight trends.
Expense Claim Management
An expense claim management system is built in to EMOS. This
allows each member of staff to electronically submit expense claims and then
track these claims through to approval. The airline’s administrative staff can
approve, deny or return claims to the staff member; the entire process is
designed to minimise delays in payment, and eliminate paper from the process.
In
common with all aspects of EMOS the system uses structured data to provide
audits and analysis to spot unusual trends or predict operating costs.
Training Forms and Records
EMOS provides electronic training forms along with on-line questionnaires and surveys which can be used to
deliver technical refresher training and capture staff feedback. These forms,
questionnaires and surveys are part of a managed and auditable workflow system
which reduces the administration effort and provides structured information for
analysis.
The training report system provides each user with an electronic
training folder. Training managers can access these folders and extract data for
trend, risk and performance analysis purposes.
The training system is entirely auditable by
the airline’s engineering auditors.
Users can complete examinations at the time and place of their
choosing. Managers can configure on-line surveys to gather valued opinion from
the workforce. Electronic exams and surveys are available to all staff,
individuals or groups.
Company Forms
The airline’s admin forms can be provided in a PDF library of
forms, or optionally (as an Additional Development) by custom developed forms
delivering data by e-mail to accountable managers.
