RESERVE FORECASTING SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

A crew planning system includes a demand forecasting module and an optimization module. The system forecasts anticipated reserve demand levels, and determines suitable reserve staffing approaches to meet anticipated reserve demand. The forecasting is based upon probabilistic distribution models which take into account variability associated with reserve demand for a particular day. Via use of the crew planning system, reserve staffing expenses may be reduced and/or reserve demand may be met with a higher degree of probability.

1. A method, comprising:
forecasting, by a processor for crew planning, a daily reserve demand level for each day in a first time period; optimizing, by the processor, a reserve staffing model to generate a reserve staffing level for each day in the first time period; and evaluating, by the processor, the result of the reserve staffing model for each day in the first time period to determine reserve staffing results information.
