Three Year Safety Strategy to Drive Target Zero - Bristow

Duncan Moore explains their purpose for coming together: “The team has
collaborated to deliver something that we have never before achieved at
Bristow – a single, robust, standardized global flight operations system,

or replacement when a part is removed from an aircraft and declared
unserviceable. This is another exciting endeavor under way – the
replacement of IFS with a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
system, called SAP. This program will deliver standard and enterprisewide
processes and allow for the global visibility of business information
while reducing risk and improving compliance.
The eFlight program encompasses pre-flight, flight, post-flight and
resource management components, all working together to help
transform how Bristow delivers information and improves global
operations in areas that include pilots, training, scheduling, crew
management, invoicing and contracts.
Involving many aspects of Bristow, the SAP platform will help
standardize and simplify operational processes to ensure financial
management, automated controls, an efficient supply chain, more
effective maintenance planning and execution, and enhancements in
business intelligence.
This multi-year effort to automate
and standardize flight operations

the end of 2013. Among its many
