What's SMS and do I really need one ?
No other transportation industry has a better safety record than aviation. And yet we cannot afford to stop improving it. Technology helped us a lot in the recent decades to maintain a more or less constant accident rate while passengers numbers litterally went through the roof, but now we need to also sharpen our management skills if we want to remain ultra-safe in the future. SMS, or Safety Management Systems, is exactly the right tool to achieve that. It basically is a process where operators identify the hazards and associated safety-risks that are inherent in their individual operation and then develop appropriate mitigation strategies. SMS has two main purposes. The first is to reduce the safety-risks for passengers, aircraft, personnel or property to a level as low as reasonably practical. The second is to assist managers with their constant dilemna between production and protection: "is it a good idea to make an offer to that customer who wants us to fly around unfamiliar mountaineous terrain in marginal weather or should we simply skip this business opportunity ?".SMS is not just about investing in the improvement of an already quite impressive safety record. It's also about saving a lot more by managing the daily operations more safely and more effectively using Quality Management principles. Of course there is no "off-the-shelf" or "one-size-fits-all" system, and some fine-tuning is needed in every organisation implementing SMS. Fortunately, Skytation can provide you with both the building bricks and the expertise to tailor SMS into your airline, airport, corporate/private flight department or maintenance organization. Be it small or large, any business can adapt SMS to its size and needs. We can also train you to acquire a better understanding and deeper knowledge of how an SMS works in practice. "Maybe I can afford to wait another few months before implementing this new concept that sounds a bit expensive by the way ?" |
