About FAA

The FAA's mission is to provide the safest, most efficient aerospace system in the world. The FAA's 48,000 employees operate the air traffic and navigation system in the U.S., regulate civil aviation and airport safety, regulate commercial space transportation and advance aviation safety globally.

Project Scope

The Quintiq employee scheduling software provides FAA managers with an optimal software solution over the full scheduling horizon. Advanced optimization engines and extensive “what-if” capabilities will improve the FAA’s long-term workforce planning.

In addition, the Quintiq “off-the-shelf” system has many advanced capabilities that the FAA may utilize to manage annual leave planning, efficiently create shift plans, allocate shifts to individual employees, and support short-term absenteeism management (sick leave, short-term leave). The software supports a range of self-service concepts for employees, such as swapping shifts with colleagues and requesting leave, by helping managers evaluate the feasibility and implications of each request.
