Showing the way forward in optimized capacity planning:

The Solution: A capacity planning assessment

The assessment commenced with a review of the current Swedavia approach to capacity planning. The focus was to accurately describe the current planning scheme and building on this, to identify options for improving the planning and execution of the operation. This was done by comparing to a 5-step best
practice capacity planning methodology developed by Copenhagen Optimization.

Initiatives were presented aimed at closing the identified gaps allowing Stockholm Arlanda to significantly improve their planning capabilities. Also, the assessment identified significant opportunities for better use of the current infrastructure for instance by reduction of buffers and changed allocations.

The project has also improved communication between the operation and capacity planners – thereby identifying opportunities for linking the operational reality and the future capacity planning closer together.
