Futron’s decision management solutions include leading edge safety metrics methods of measuring safety performance that provide you with actionable safety knowledge. We understand that the success and safety of flight operations hinges on the decisions made by leaders and operators working within the system and that your optimal decision making depends upon your having superior information.
Futron offers you the following safety metrics innovations:
- Aerospace Performance Factor (APF)
- Dynamic Analytics
Futron’s safety metrics measurement and analysis packages are designed for leaders who track safety performance within the organization. Our services are designed as decision aids. They provide the capability to track trends in safety performance and risks over time as a tool to forecast future hazards.
Futron is at the leading edge of developing a risk-based safety decision management solution, which takes safety performance measurement and analysis into the Next Generation. Our integrated safety metrics approach combines two components:
- Aerospace Performance Factor (APF)
Futron’s Aerospace Safety Team collaborated with innovators in government, industry and academia to develop the Aerospace Performance Factor (APF). The APF combines separate sources of information, mining that information for elements that impact safety, and provides a performance picture for decision makers through the display of trended, prioritized, safety performance data.
- Dynamic Analytics
Futron takes the APF one step further by combining the methodology with powerful data driven analytical approaches to create a risk forecast for aerospace decision makers.
The Dynamic Analytics process is broken down into five distinct steps:

The process is continuous – constantly updating the analysis and assessments, and providing recommended actions based on qualitative and quantitative models. Real time risk is displayed as a dashboard or client customized display.
Benefits
Futron’s Safety Metrics solution helps your organization move to a proactive safety performance approach, reducing safety risks to products, personnel, operations, and facilities.
The APF and Dynamic Analytics process moves your organization to a proactive approach to safety performance. Using weighted trends in events and performance, and combining safety culture and organizational process, you can identify potential hazards and make critical decisions before the result is an undesirable safety event.
