內容大綱
Consultant Tom Li, an expert on the airline industry's use of yield management, had been asked by two colleagues to speak with trailer-leasing client TNG about the technique, which incorporates customer segmentation and other steps to optimize pricing. Li felt unsure whether the technique would work in trailer leasing, a highly fragmented commodity business in which companies rent out semitrailers to customers needing to ship merchandise. In this case students examine the trailer-leasing industry and lease data from one of TNG's branches before deciding whether yield management should be introduced by TNG management.The case illustrates the application of the deterministic linear programming model in settings beyond airlines and hotels.
