A method for providing an enterprise with a situational awareness for conditions related to aircraft departure is described. The method includes receiving data related to one or more events that have the potential to affect conditions related to an aircraft's departure from a plurality of enterprise related systems, correlating the received data in accordance with one or more business rules, generating an aircraft departure situational awareness data set from the correlated data, processing the aircraft departure situational awareness data set in view of at least one user profile, and providing at least one recommendation, each recommendation associated with one user profile, directed to addressing the conditions related to aircraft departure.

Methods and systems for aircraft departure enhanced situational awareness and recovery

Methods and systems for modeling functional processes in enterprises, and for simulating and valuing the effects of various products and services on those processes, are described herein. The cost of disruptions in service of commercial fleets of transportation vehicles such as aircraft, is assessed. The causes of the disruptions are determined and for each such cause, disruption events are classified according to their duration. The cost factors are established and then accumulated to reflect the cost per cause and severity of disruption. Curves are developed that allow users to identify the disruptions that are most costly.
