WHAT WE DO
Konsius Crew Planner Process
01
We integrate with your current crew management software.
02
It imports your existing planning data (from your current crew management software)
03
It identifies gaps where no plan exists
04
Finally, it uses an algorithm to calculate the best possible plan for all your seafarers and vessels months and years in advance
HOW IT WORKS
How the Algorithm Works
In the Konsius Crew Planner, the algorithm distinguishes between “hard rules” and “soft rules” to optimize crew planning effectively.
Hard Rules
Hard rules are non-negotiable criteria that must be met without exception, such as regulatory compliance, qualifications, and oil major requirements. These ensure the safety and legality of maritime operations.
Soft Rules
Soft rules, on the other hand, are preferences or guidelines that aim to enhance efficiency and crew satisfaction, like avoiding extending crew onboard, plan crew within a fleet or considering individual crew preferences.
