- Question 2 "In air cargo revenue management, for every flight we operate, we first must forecast the capacity so we can understand how much space we can sell. Unlike on the passenger side where the number of seats is rather standard, the cargo capacity will vary based on the route, the aircraft, the number of passengers, the number of bags passengers are carrying and other metrics." Karri Kauppi, Head of Cargo Revenue Management & Pricing, Finnair Source: The Complexities of Air Cargo Revenue Management https://www.kambr.com/articles/the-complexities-of-air-cargo-revenue-management (a) According to Karri Kauppi, cargo revenue management (CRM) is complex. The first thing in CRM is to forecast the air cargo capacity which would depend on factors e.g. the route, the aircraft, the number of passengers, the number of bags and other metrics. Appraise how Karri practises CRM in forecasting air cargo capacity and pricing available cargo space for sale in order to maximize profitability.…arrow_forwardQuestion 3 Regular output capacity is 130 units per month. Regular cost per unit = K600. Overtime cost per unit = K900. Beginning inventory is 0 units. We have the forecast of engine demand shown below: a) Develop a chase plan that matches the forecast. Calculate the cost of the plan. b) Develop a level plan that uses inventory to absorb fluctuations. Compare the costs of the level plan to the costs of the chase plan from Part (a). Inventory carrying cost per unit per month = 20. Backlog cost per unit per month = K900. There should be no backlog in the final month.
