Galley Planning demo

What the demo shows

Builds galley load plans by aircraft, route and cabin so caterers load the right spec

The galley planner's day starts with what needs the planner: this morning a new business menu touched 214 plans, and the agents re-planned every one; 207 pass every check and 7 have a question. In the galley builder the planner sees one widebody layout for a long-haul route in plan view with its galleys marked, and the aft-facing galley in front elevation, every cart, oven and compartment filled in by the planner agent. The new menu needs six oven loads and the forward galley holds four, so the agent moved two aft, put the casseroles in the only chilled bay there, moved the duty-free cart, and removed a spare trolley that came back untouched on 71% of flights: −38 kg. Every position explains itself with its source; when the planner drags a cart, the agents say what that breaks. A fit and weight checker re-derives the plan from the drawings and agrees, the weight and balance engineer has approved the new standard weight, and the service flow agent asks one question: can the aft business service start 10 minutes later, inside the T+1:15 standard? The planner says yes, approves with a reason code and publishes to the caterers at both ends of the route, who each get a six-line change list in plain words. Tail swaps are re-planned before the caterer cut-off, and a short-load guard checks plan, tail and bookings 72 hours ahead.
