Tiivistelmä
Fatigue in aviation is a hazardous concurrence that has troubled the industry for a long time. It has compromised safety and has cost the aviation industry a great sum of financial asset. Mainly circadian rhythm has been identified as a culprit in over the years with new risk factors being identified gradually. FRMS and SMS had been made a necessity in aviation all over the world.
In the research, the framework for accessing fatigue is developed showcasing its risks and characteristics using design science research method for artefact development. The framework tries to predict fatigue in cabin crew before work initiation in hopes to avoid any risks that may arise. A handful of variables declared in the research alongside with the other procedures of aviation can help to counter or mitigate fatigue. Validation with case study shows the framework to be useful due to the inclusion of multi variables, but a live test would still need to be conducted to see its potential and efficiency.
