Aviation Safety Management Software - Email Attachments

Attach Emails and Attachments to Reported Issues

Modern Web-based enterprise risk management software allows managers to have all documentation in a centralized location. When auditors come sniffing around your safety program, stress naturally builds when safety managers are unable to produce required documentation.

SMS Pro has flexible work flow processes to document auditable risk management processes. In most cases, all the documentation stays with reported issues from the time the airline/airport accident, incident or irregularity is reported, until the issue is reviewed years later.

New Email Attachments' Features

New aviation safety management software features have been recently added to SMS Pro's airline/airport safety software. These features allow email attachments to be securely incorporated into the airline/airport safety management documentation during risk management processes. See http://www.asms-pro.com for more information on SMS Pro aviation safety management software.

When an aviation-related accident or incident is reported, safety managers often gather considerable documentation, such as

Photos;
Videos;
PDFs;
Word Docs;
Text files, etc.

This documentation becomes "attached" to the issue either when the:

Issue has been reported;
Preliminary investigation is processed;
Formal investigation occurs;
Corrective actions are being managed; or
Issue has been reviewed during the monitoring process.

Attach Emails and Attachments to Reported Issues

Managers can now easily attach any email and the accompanying attachments to issues they are working on. This feature has been provided to SMS Pro clients in order to save managers' time while managing documentation from third parties, which often is accompanied with attachments.

Feature Reserved for Managers Only

To attach emails to reported issues, you must be a safety manager or a department head.
You can only attach emails to issues belonging to your aviation safety portal.
You must know the convenience number of the reported issue.

How to Attach Emails to Reported Issues

Each company has a target-email to forward messages to be attached.
You must know your target email. Contact techsupport@nwds-ak.com if you don't know your target email.
You must know the issue number to which you wish to attach the email.
In the subject line, at the very end of the subject, add #xxx (xxx) is the issue number.
You must use the # tag
You must not put a space between the # tag and the issue number
- "# xxx" is bad
- "#xxx" is good
Forward the email and attachments to your target-email.

How Email Attachments Work

Every 30 minutes, SMS Pro reads the target emails to find new messages;
SMS Pro determines who sent the message (only valid users are permitted);
SMS Pro searches for the reported issue;
If reported issue exists, and the user is valid, then attachments are created.
Email messages are put into an HTML file and attached to issue;
All other email attachments act as normal issue attachments.

Note:
SMS Pro will import company logos that are included in signature lines. SMS Pro cannot discern between company logo attachments and other valid image attachments. When these company logos are imported, a manager will have to clean up these "unintended" attachments in the Issue Manager on the "Attachments" tab.

Integrated Policies & Procedures in Aviation SMS Program

Integration of Policies & Procedures in Aviation SMS

For many years, SMS Pro had the Policy Manager for airlines and airports to store policies and procedures online. Policy Manager allowed operators to place their policies and procedures in a centralized location available to all employees. Policy Manager was officially renamed in 2012 to Policies and Procedures.

Policies and Procedures module benefited airlines and airports with great functionality, that included:

Online storage of policies visible to all employees;
Location for new employees to review policies and procedures;
Online editing of policies and procedures by managers with editing permissions;
Automated review dates that notified by email that items required review;
Two lead times configuration settings that allowed managers to configure email notifications;
Visual cues indicating review status of policies and procedures;
Auditing trail indicating last person to review item.

Aviation safety management systems software

Policies & Procedures Managed Online and Visible to All

Besides having a location to enter the policy or procedures, each item had a separate section that allows managers to optionally describe the rationale behind the policy or procedure. Managers can also configure email notification by individual email addresses or by role. For example, if all department heads need to be notified that a policy or procedure required review, all users with the department head role would receive an email notification alerting them of this information.

Policies & Procedures Stood on Their Own

Until 2013, Policies and Procedures module stood on its own. There was no functionality to automatically monitor the effectiveness of these policies and procedures. No trigger would alert management that a particular policy or procedure was out of date, poorly followed, or communicated to the organization. This has changed in 2013 with an integration into SMS Pro's risk management framework, which is called Issue Manager.

Business Processes as Optional Classification System

Since 2007, an optional classification system existed based on FAA ATOS (Aviation Transportation Oversight System). For those unfamiliar with ATOS, the schema was comprised of systems, subsystems and elements. These three layers equate to the category, subcategory and subsubcategory visible today in almost every classification system in SMS Pro, including:

Root Cause;
Type of Issue;
Business Processes; and
Proactive Hazard Analysis.

Human factors is the only classification scheme that has more than three levels. Human factors has a maximum of four levels by default.

Managers can extend their classification schemes up to eight layers, but we don't recommend this practice as your classification schemes will become too cumbersome and difficult for other users to digest. Three layers is deep enough in most cases.

For five years, only a few operators (out of several hundred) took the time to configure and use the optional Business Processes classification system. The purpose was for an operator to list operational and administrative procedures and processes. Once the list was compiled, these procedures and processes could be assigned to reported issues. As time passed, managers could easily see which procedures and processes needed review and possible change. Classification of issues using Business Processes was the same as everywhere else in the Web based aviation safety management software, first from dropdown lists, finally to drag and drop, which was introduced in early 2010.

Airline airport Aviation safety management software

Business Processes Appear in Many Parts of SMS Pro

Business Processes had its own section in:

Issue Manager classification;
Key Performance Indicators;
Risk Analysis Charts;
Financial Risk Analysis Charts;
Trending Charts; and
Classification Reports.

Integration of Business Processes and Policies & Procedures

Since Business Processes was virtually unused by hundreds of companies using SMS Pro, NWDS decided in February 2013 to integrate Business Processes into the Policies and Procedures. What does this mean? How will this affect functionality?

The phrase "Business Processes" will neither appear on the Classify tab in Issue Manager nor in the reports. The phrase "Business Processes" is exchanged with Policies and Procedures or something similar. In these sections, you will see a list of policies and procedures from the Policies & Procedures module.

For example, when you classify issues on the Classify tab, you will see a treeview list of your policies and procedures. Drag the applicable policy or procedure from left to right to classify the issue. When SMS Admins create a new classification under Policies and Procedures, a new policy or procedure will be created in the Policies & Procedures module. Likewise, when a manager creates a new policy or procedure in the Policies & Procedures manual, the item will appear in the list of items to classify issues or to view in the reports.

Integration of Business Processes with Policies & Procedures Is Optional

Airlines and airports using the Business Processes don't have to lose the work they have done in the past with their business processes. For those wishing to integrate their business processes with their policies and procedures, the process is simple:

In Policies & Procedures module, go into "edit" mode;
At the top of the page, you will see a section to initialize migration. This will only appear if your business processes are not integrated with your policies and procedures.
Select the "Initialize Migration" link and in one or two seconds, the process is complete.
Refresh your screen and the section will have disappeared.

Policies & Procedures Integration Is Optional, But Recommended

What Happens to the Old Data?

The old business process classifications remain in the database. They are simply "deactivated" and will no longer appear. This ensures that historical records maintain their referential integrity.

Enterprise Risk Management in Aviation Safety Management Systems

Risk Management in Aviation Safety Management Systems (SMS)

Top Management is Accountable!

Top management is accountable for the implementation of airline and airport aviation safety management systems (SMS). Responsibility can be delegated to safety managers, but top management is ultimately accountable for the successful implementation. Top management delegates these responsibilities, and as part of the delegation process, top management sends safety managers to aviation safety management courses to ensure their safety managers have an adequate understanding of what is required in an aviation safety management system.

In some cases, the safety manager brings back the knowledge gained from the aviation safety management courses and disseminates the information to other managers and employees. The point to fix on is that this does not happen all the time. And top management is still accountable regardless of how well the safety manager performs his task.

Who Audits the Safety Manager at Your Airline/Airport?

How does top management know whether the safety manager is doing a good job? Who is auditing the safety manager internally? Should your airline or airport jeopardize your certificate and wait for civil aviation authorities to conduct their audit and present you with a list of deficiencies? How does top management manage the risk in their enterprises to ensure they don't get caught off guard?

How Do You Know Your Aviation SMS Program is Working?

Internal aviation safety audits are important. One important point to bring out is that your internal safety audits should not be performed by the safety manager. You want an impartial eye performing the audit and you need to ensure that your required elements are documented in a way that aviation SMS auditors can confidently agree that you have fulfilled the requirements.

Aviation SMS Software helps!

To perform your aviation SMS audit, you will need an aviation SMS audit checklist. If you don't have an aviation SMS audit checklist, you have a few alternatives:

Wing it (not the best choice);
Ask the auditor for a copy (sometimes they will oblige);
Use a gap analysis checklist (like in SMS Pro, which has several models, such as ICAO, IS-BAO, FAA, Transport Canada);
Use an implementation plan checklist (like the ones provided in SMS Pro, such as ICAO and Transport Canada).

Transport Canada put out an advisory circular that has some good checklist. Here is the link to the document.
http://www.tc.gc.ca/media/documents/ca-opssvs/107-001-e.pdf

For airlines and airports just starting their aviation SMS implementation, top management should be asking these questions, which have been extracted from this AC.

Component 1 – Safety Management Plan

Element 1.1 Safety Policy

Is a safety management system with defined components established, maintained and adhered to?
Is there a safety policy in place?
Is the safety policy approved by the accountable executive?
Has the organization based its safety management system on the safety policy?
Is the safety policy promoted by the accountable executive?
Is the safety policy reviewed periodically?
Is the safety policy communicated to all employees with the intent that they are made aware of their individual safety obligations?

Element 1.2, Non-Punitive Safety Reporting Policy

Is there a policy in place that provides immunity from disciplinary action for employees that report safety deficiencies, hazards or occurrences?

Element 1.3, Roles & Responsibilities

Checklists are tools to guide you!

Has an accountable executive been appointed with responsibility for ensuring that the safety management system is properly implemented and performing to requirements in all areas of the organization?
Does the accountable executive have control of the financial and human resources required for the proper execution of his/her SMS responsibilities?
Does the person managing the operation of the SMS fulfill the required job functions and responsibilities?
Are the safety authorities, responsibilities and accountability of personnel at all levels of the organization defined and documented?
Do all personnel understand their authorities, responsibilities and accountability in regards to all safety management processes, decisions and actions?

Element 1.4, Communication

Are there communication processes in place within the organization that permit the safety management system to function effectively?
Are communication processes (written, meetings, electronic, etc.) commensurate with the size and scope of the organization?
Is information established and maintained in a suitable medium that provides direction in related documents?
Is there a process for the dissemination of safety information throughout the organization and a means of monitoring the effectiveness of this process?

Element 1.5, Safety Planning, Objective & Goals

Have safety objectives been established?
Is there a formal process to develop a coherent set of safety goals necessary to achieve overall safety objectives?
Are safety objective and goals publicized and distributed?

Element 1.6, Performance Measurement

Is there a formal process to develop and maintain a set of performance parameters to be measured?

Element 1.7, Management Review

Are regular and periodic, planned reviews of company safety performance and achievement including an examination of the company‘s Safety Management System conducted to ensure its continuing suitability, adequacy and effectiveness?
Is there a process to evaluate the effectiveness of corrective actions?

Not Knowing Aviation SMS Requirements is not a Valid Excuse

When the aviation SMS auditor visits your airline or airport, you will not be able to plead ignorance. Top management is expected to know what is required of an effective safety management system. It is not like aviation safety management systems fell from the sky last week.

How to Promote Safety Using Aviation Safety Alert Module

Aviation Safety Management Software for Safety Promotion

Three years ago, SMS Pro created an aviation safety management module based on our users' feedback. The Safety Alert module allows safety managers or SMS Admins to create safety alerts that popup when users login to their Web-based aviation safety management system program. Users can be automatically "directed" to view a page or memo when they login by disabling the parent page until the users closes the alert. Software logs can track & acknowledge users have seen the memo.

Safety Promotion Using Aviation Safety Software Tools

Aviation Safety Alerts Promote Safety

SMS Pro's Safety Alert module can be configured to open (popup) based on a users' roles. For example, if a safety manager wanted all pilots to view an aviation safety advisory, all pilots would be greeted by a popup window with the configured advisory. Flight attendants and maintenance workers wouldn't be bothered with pilots' aviation safety advisory. Safety Alerts can be configured so multiple roles can be alerted whenever they enter the Web-based aviation safety management program (SMS Pro). For example, if the aviation safety manager wanted all baggage handlers and maintenance staff to review an important memo before continuing their duties, the safety manger would select the respectively configured roles in SMS Pro. The person creating the aviation safety advisory could disable the active page until the user read and closed the aviation safety advisory.

Safety managers can create customized messages, add images, format text and more with the Web-based text editor. This Web-based text editor is embedded into SMS Pro, so users already know how to use the tool and are not forced to learn new skills to create these customized messages.

Aviation Safety Alerts for Airlines and Airports

Aviation safety alerts can be configured to show at different times. For example, a popup can appear each time a user enters to aviation safety management software or once per user of SMS Pro. In most cases, safety managers configure the aviation safety alert module to appear each time the user comes to the airline or airports's aviation safety management system and logs in. In addition, popup alert windows can be sized according to the creator's needs. For example, if a safety manager wishes to show a large aviation safety image, the window can be easily resized.

To see an example of SMS Pro's Safety Alert, contact chowell@ nwds-ak.com for a demo of SMS Pro. If your organization already uses this user-friendly aviation SMS tool, ask us how you can integrate it into your custom Web portal. SMS Pro is truly the most complete and robust aviation SMS database tool on the market. If you don't believe us, ask our users and consulting partners.

Web Based Integrated Aviation Safety Management System Advantages

Web Based Integrated Aviation Safety Management Systems

In the beginning, there was paper to perform the risk management functions of airlines. Paper was a bit difficult to track, and it was easier to keep risky elements off paper in order to avoid the paper trail that lawyers love to chase. Paper gave way to desktop computers and internal networks as managers realized that data could be safety and efficiently stored on spreadsheets and home grown databases. The Web was still young and Web based risk management applications were not as rich as today's integrated aviation safety management systems.

Growth of Aviation Safety Management Software Industry

SMS Pro Web Based Safety Management Software

Web based aviation safety management systems didn't really start taking hold until about 2008. The reason these aviation risk management solutions were not popular is because the aviation industry focuses their money on equipment, fuel and labor. Marketing is also high on the list, but this is a necessity to increase sales. Marketing expenditures compared to return on investment are more visible than spending money on Web based aviation safety management system. After all, paper still existed, and most managers had access to MS Word, MS Excel and MS Access. The larger companies also may have dedicated software engineers sitting on their thumbs. These folks were often tasked to creating in house desktop aviation safety management programs, but they were not complete systems. These early systems focused on risk management, financial aspects of reported issues and neglected the safety promotion activities common today in the best of breed aviation safety management software suites.

What Drove the Explosion of Web Based Aviation SMS Software?

In 2006, the international aviation regulatory authorities determined that not enough emphasis was placed on aviation safety. Many countries and airlines were black-listed from operating in Europe and the United States. Something needed to be done to ensure some minimal standards were developed to enhance safety. This is when aviation safety management became a buzzword. SMS training companies started training thousands of pilots on the fundamentals of aviation safety management. But true Web based aviation safety management software lagged. Most operators didn't have hundreds of thousands of dollars available to create their Web based aviation SMS software programs.

To put a temporary fix, many Web based hazard reporting software programs came on the scene. They claimed to be complete aviation safety management systems, but the developers were too shortsighted, or perhaps didn't want to spend the time reading the requirements put out by ICAO and other civil aviation authorities.

Integrated Aviation Safety Management Software Solutions Debated

Aviation quality management system with web-based SMS databases were becoming a concern as operators tried to integrate safety and quality management principles into the same Web based framework. The debate still rages on this topic.

Advantages of Web Based Aviation Safety Management Software

The advantages of having Web based aviation safety management systems are many. Having the ability to perform your risk management tasks online, wherever you may be today is a big bonus. Users can report aviation accidents and incidents regardless of where they are located as long as they have Internet connectivity. Another advantage of having Web based SMS software programs is that you don't have to worry about your data. If you lose your computer, or somebody steals it, you will be assured the data is safe.
