EU261 Claim Provisions Compliant with IFRS 15 (Service Recovery Cost)

Dec 2017 - Mar 2018

Insufficient insights in cost drivers regarding EU261 claims make it difficult to create an accurate financial forecast and provision for these cost, and to match the actual cost with this provision. This leaves both KLM and Air France with compliancy issues regarding IFRS 15 in 2018. We created a financial forecast model based on a custom Machine Learning algorithm.

External Spend Process Mining Analysis

Mar 2018 - Apr 2018

Together with Celonis we performed a Process Mining Analysis for KLM Inflight Services. Based on this analysis, we assessed the process efficiency and provided insights regarding the Purchase to Pay (P2P) process within KLM Inflight Services. These insights can lead to better and more efficient purchasing behavior.

Payments Online

Apr 2018 - Nov 2018

There is a continuous trade-off between making a payment method (e.g. Credit Card, iDeal, PayPal) available for the customer and costs incurred as a result of making these payment methods available. Using various advanced data analytics / data science techniques, we have focussed on:

  • The performance of payment methods (e.g. how often do problems with a certain payment method occur?).
  • Calculating the net costs of making a payment method available.
  • Payment method fraud (prevent "review cases" and "reversed payments").

E&M Time Registration

Jun 2018 - Jul 2018

The registered hours within Maintenix (time registration system) indicate that the quality of registered hours is not at a desired level. This results in a challenge from a utilization point of view (e.g. over- or under-utilization of available capacity). Using various data analytics techniques we provided insights in the hour registration behavior. These insights can lead to better workload planning, FTE forecasts and revenue management.

E&M Quotes

Jun 2018 - Nov 2018

Whenever a (potential) customer sends out a tender for the maintenance of 737 components, the Cost Quotation team within E&M Component Services has a big role in responding to it with a reliable estimate of future cost so that Sales can create a competitive yet profitable proposal. We optimized and automated the calculation of the cost per shop visit (used for cost quotations). The PoC (Proof of Concept) consisted of the following topics:

  • Using Machine Learning to improve the calculating of future cost (which can have a significant impact on the realized margin).
  • Show, using Python Flask, a possible UI (User Interface) where users can select partnumbers and peer groups (i.e. other airlines) and filter relevant items (e.g. book years).
  • Create a pipeline using Object Oriented Programming (OOP):
    • Ingest (import and clean several datasets)
    • Calibrate (create a model)
    • Predict (make a prediction based on the model)

Flawed Payments

Jun 2019 - Aug 2019

On a daily basis KLM has to make a lot of external payments. Within the payment process there are various checks and balances implemented (both in systems and the process itself) to make sure KLM does not pay invoices twice or pay “flawed” payments. In the past external parties have been hired to test and analyze this process.

To improve the internal control framework and continuous monitor the payment process we implemented two data models. One model to capture duplicate payments based on exact matching and fuzzy matching and one model to determine anomalies (based on an anomaly detection algorithm).

Fuel Controlling

Aug 2019 - Sep 2019

A large part of all costs within KLM are related to the purchase and distribution of (jet) fuel. These cost are determined by the volume and the price. The Fuel Controlling department within KLM is primarily responsible for the controlling of the purchase and distribution of fuel and the hedging of the related costs. A couple of time intensive internal controls take place related to this process.

To get familiar with the different data sources and processes we have automated some of these time intensive internal controls. Among others, for this, a data preprocessing pipeline has been established.

After the proof of concept phase, we created a webservice so that the business (Fuel Controlling department) can access and run the automated internal control themselves. The webservice is created in Flask (Python) and deployed in Kubernetes (in a Docker container).

Airsuite

Mar 2016 - Feb 2017

Within the project "Airsuite", we built a modern cloud-based solution for airline financial management, route profitability and purchasing. This was done together with Transavia France, Capgemini and the Solmate Group. The project constists of a mix of three platforms:

  • NetSuite
  • Airpas
  • Adaptive Insights

Some important items that I have helped with are:

  • Creating a new Chart of Accounts (COA).
  • Create an initial BI 'layer' structure and align this new BI structure with Transavia France.
  • Testing the functionality of NetSuite and Adaptive Insights.
  • Brainstorming about creating custom solutions within NetSuite and Adaptive Insights.

New Digital Workplace

2016 - 2017

Within the project "New Digital Workspace" I signed up as an early adopter of the new Transavia (digital) workplace. For this project I, amongst others, tested several programs in the new workspace and created the whole SharePoint Online (SPO) environment for Transavia Finance (Accounting and Controlling & Reporting) and several other departments/teams within Transavia (e.g. HR, scrum teams, change & innovate). For Controlling & Reporting specifically I, amongst others, set up the following:

  • Teamsite
  • Document libraries
  • Permission levels
  • Dashboards
  • Online forms

Proof of Concept Power BI within the Finance department

Nov 2016 - Mrt 2017

Together with a Financial Controller I set up two Proof of Concepts (POCs) in which we proved the value of Power BI for Transavia in general and Transavia Finance in particular. These dashboards with different levels of details have been demonstrated to and discussed with the Board of Directors (including managers of different departments) in periodic meetings. These dashboards are currently still being used. The two dashboards explained:

  • Overall dashboard - A large dashboard consisting of several reports with the most important Transavia KPIs within the fields of:
    • Customer
    • Operational performance
    • Corporate / HR
    • Innovation
    • Financial Performance
  • Route Profitability - A dashboard with an image of Europe. Per country/route the Route Profitability (COI) can be seen over different time periods (MoM, YoY) and versions (actual, forecast and budget).

Currently Power BI is used in a larger part of the organization.
