Training

Introduction:

• The management systems for the process of safety, compliance, OH&S, quality, security and fatigue management have been usually developed separately in most  aviation organizations.
• However every aviation organization that has in place an SMS needs to find ways to improve its operating efficiency and safety performance. It is important to reduce overall operating cost, while maintaining and improving the SMS position within the organisation. Nevertheless

• All these systems have obviously similar decision making-related expectations, such as:

• 1) data analysis and record keeping requirements;
• 2) risk management and decision making analyses; and
• 3) metrics used to demonstrate performance improvements.

• Hence, merging the similarities and common needs of these different systems will lead to more efficient and effective management at top level.
• Therefore, this course will provide the necessary tools and methodologies that can be used in order to achieve the desired outcomes of effectiveness with SMS.

How will I benefit:

• To develop a general understanding of business practices and skills used for the development of an advanced (Level 2) SMS;
• To provide a range of knowledge and skills that give emphasis to the development and implementation principles of an IMS.
• To assist participants in understanding the key components and elements of an effective Safety Management System (SMS), including the implementation of a tailored Integrated Management System (IMS), according to their type of operations, organizational complexity and needs.
• To get team working experience, sharing of information and problem-solving in an aviation business and technical environment.
