Abstract
Customer Profitability Analysis (CPA) is a procedure that provides management with information related to customers that will allow them to manage revenue from a profit perspective. The data attained from CPA will assist with decisions regarding marketing, product development, and capacity management to create a customer mix, which will provide the best profit results. BAR means the best available rate, in which a regular customer is charged in case he has approved to reserve. The various stages of yield management include: 1) grow a profit culture, 2) study the overall demand, 3) create price value relations, 4) form suitable market segments, 5) evaluate the pattern of demand, 6) find the failures and denials, and 7) assess and review the system.
