EX-ANTE and EX-POST Model Applied to the Operational Flying Regime Management

The current international situation has caused serious budgetary constraints at the level of government organizations. To cope with the adversities the Portuguese Air Force (PoAF) has adopted new management mechanisms that aim to provide an effective and efficient management of scarce resources that the organization has at its disposal. The Integrated Management Defense System (IMDS) is the tool that the organization has adopted to solve the current restrictions. This tool is used at the operational level only for recording data relating to the operation performed, demonstrating a gap in relation to the management objectives, considering the totality of its processes. The theoretical support of the EX-ANTE and EX-POST Model, used in conjunction with the Zachman framework, allows the correlation of access control and registration and validation mechanisms within the correspondent information systems, which is essential to the organization that oversees governance through its architecture. Also, the introduction of planning data and the respective Key Performance Indicators (KPI) increase IMDS capabilities and align it with the management objectives outlined in the strategic level.
