STRATEGIC PLANNING AND REVENUE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

Methods and systems for strategic planning of a first transportation organization such as an airline. A multi-player game model ( 502 - 530 ), such as a model simulating the strategy of the first organization and strategies of competitive organizations reacting to moves made by one another, can be used to derive demographics representing potential sales of transportation by the first organization. The first organization derives a feasible schedule for meeting the requirements for transportation specified by such demographics. The scheduling step provides realistic costs and revenues, allowing realistic evaluation of the strategy. The process can be repeated with multiple possible strategies to select a best strategy. Methods of revenue management can include automatically modifying a strategy based on similar multi-player game modeling.
