The complexity of forecasting and the wide array of requisite variables put a premium on having an integrated system with well-defined and constructed relational databases that contain the latest and most accurate data available. Such a system, combined with historical trend monitoring, allows those responsible for running forecasts to spend less time on data entry and validation of each baseline data point. Instead, forecasters can be more confident in the results of their forecasts without requiring extensive manual manipulation to the inputs. This allows for quicker turnaround, especially when running fleet-wide forecasts that are used for budget projections.
Robust forecast solutions source the right data inputs and model them with flexible outputs.
Ways to Use Forecasts
- Establish fleet wide or portfolio baseline budget projections
- Deal support
- What-if scenarios (e.g., with and without return conditions enforced)
- Identify potential engine swaps
- Establish asset roadmaps
- Maintenance claim support
- End of lease (EOL) compensation support
