Pulse+ © White Paper

Introduction

Pulse+© is a flexible, web-based, data collection and reporting system that allows organizational entities to modify data collection activities 'on the fly', to provide real-time feedback and metrics on their dynamic operating environment. Pulse+© has been used by the commercial airline industry as a primary tool for collecting and reporting information on incidents, operational irregularities, process efficiencies, publication management, training performance and records keeping, and myriad of other user defined data collection activities. It is also in use by the United States Navy Force Safety (Naval Aviation) for self-reporting and tracking.

Purpose

The purpose of Pulse+© is to allow these entities to collect information specific to their operation in real-time. Armed with this information, the unit can implement, and measure, the success of corrective action before identified deficiencies adversely affect the safety or operational capability of their organization. Additionally, the flexibility inherent in the Pulse+© system reduces the workload on technology support personnel, and makes this system extremely responsive to the needs of the operational units.

Philosophy

Pulse+© was developed with the understanding that to truly measure the effectiveness or risk inherent in any operating system, data collection and reporting had to provide the capability for evaluating or assessing both technology and human factors. By providing an integrated method to collect data from multiple disciplines, e.g. pilot, mechanic, crew chief, etc., Pulse+© can provide a multi-dimensional look at the entire operating system, or be modified to focus on a single area of concern. Pulse+© is a proactive, rather than reactive, data collection and reporting system.

Technology

Database: MySQL®, Microsoft® SQL Server 2005 or greater, or Oracle® 9 or greater.

Note: Pulse+© can use any one of the three technologies above, based on the desire of the client. All of the above require licenses from their respective companies.
