Normalization Rates Added to Aviation SMS Software Charts
For years, SMS Pro has been a popular aviation safety management software solution for airlines, airports, MROs (AMOs) and flight schools. One reason SMS Pro is popular is because it is user friendly and every manager can generate their own reports using the intuitive interface. SMS Reports can be ad hoc using the Data Analysis Export module, or they can be canned drill down charts, such as the Risk Analysis Charts, Financial Risk Analysis Charts or the Risk Impact Trending Charts.Aviation SMS Software Developers Overlooked the Obvious
The above charting tools have remained relatively unchanged for the past several years, except for occasional cosmetic enhancements. Last week, two people mentioned that it would be great if the Risk Analysis Charts had a normalization rate built into the chart. While we have a KPI Normalization Rate module for monitoring safety performance indicators or key performance indicators, it never occurred to us to add the normalization rate to the risk analysis charts. This is such an obvious extension, but we missed the boat.Adding the normalization rate to reports was a straight-forward task. They are now included in the system. Below is a screenshot of the Risk Analysis Charts with the normalization rates. You can use them for all types of reports, including key safety performance indicators.
