	Understanding Yield Management
		Yield management, minus polite trappings, is basically the combination of processes, analysis, and techniques a vendor applies to the types of products it offers in order to induce (or compel) its customers to pay as much as possible.
		Yield is a complex word that can refer to profitability in a number of ways, but the essence of being in business is to manage the greatest possible spread between costs and revenues.
		Thus yield management is more effective (or at least easier) when you have as few skills and other tools as possible that might enable you to circumvent it.

	Question regarding empowerment:
		"Yield Management" as described in the two articles focused on it appears to have first grown from a significant strategy in the airline industry.
		According to the article (Kimel et al, 1998), yield management is a crucial element for hospitality industry that has the following characteristics: relatively fixed capacity, predictable demand, perishable inventory, appropriate cost and pricing structure, and demand that is variable and uncertain.
		To be successful with yield management, hotels must practice it in such a way that customers view transactions as fair.

	Yield management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Yield management, also known as revenue management, is the process of understanding, anticipating and reacting to consumer behaviour in order to maximize revenue or profits.
		Enterprises that use yield management periodically review transactions for goods or services already supplied and for goods or services to be supplied in the future.
		For example, American Airlines, which was a pioneer in the innovation of yield management systems, estimated that the utilization of YM increased its revenue by $1.4 billion between 1989 and 1991 [2].

	Yield Management history and definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
		Yield Management originated in the United States at the beginning of the 1980s with the deregulation of the airline industry.
		If not for the guarantees offered by Yield Management, companies partaking in e-commerce would, at worst, run the risk of losing control of their inventory and, at best, be unable to take full advantage of the possibilities inherent in these new distribution channels.
		Yield Management is thus a necessary tactical weapon that ensures the profitability, if not the viability, of any business operating in a highly competitive environment.

	Yield Systems Management: Overview
		A cornerstone and foundation of the Integrated Yield Management Methods is the Yield Enhancement Analysis (YEA), a systematic method for quantifying 100% of all the yield losses in the common cause part of the yield population.
		Establishing limited yields for defect types by operations is a necessary part of yield partitioning.
		The limited yield for an operation is the yield that the final product would have if all other losses were eliminated.

	Yield Monitors Create On- and Off-Farm Profit Opportunitie \| Pioneer Hi-Bred Limited
		Once yield monitoring is initiated, growers realize that fields can be highly variable, and often seize the opportunity to tailor their management in a much more site-specific manner.
		Clearly the higher yields achieved were the result of yield monitoring as well as the effectiveness of the herbicide used and the grower’s skill in identifying, re-locating and treating the weed problem.
		Yield and moisture data, plus the DGPS data, can then be used to create yield and moisture maps as well as many other types of specialized maps.

	Yield Management System Measurement / Dr. Ravi Mehrotra, IdeaS, Inc., / June 1999 / IDeaS, Inc.
		The hotel’s management team may point to the fact that the property was operating in a much improved local economic environment.
		Consequently, measuring the impact of the yield management system is essential to correctly attribute what revenue increases are a result of the system or are a result of other factors.
		In an attempt to estimate the yield management system results, revenues from a period after system installation are compared to a similar period last year prior to installation.

	[No title]
		Basically, yield management is an inventory management system that allows hoteliers to forecast supply and demand and adjust their pricing strategies accordingly.
		Yield management also plays an integral role in determining the size of group blocks, group cutoff dates, preferred arrival/departure patterns, reservation restrictions, and food and beverage guidelines.
		The yield management team at a property may meet once a week to review a predetermined period into the future, but on a daily basis team members are most likely evaluating each and every piece of potential business to see how and if it fits into the acceptable business guidelines of the hotel.

	Yield Mapping (Site-Specific Farming -- Number 3)
		The yield map is not only a record of yield variability within the field, but also allows a producer to research the question of why certain areas produced the way they did.
		Each yield measurement is pounds or bushels of grain for an area equal to the combine width times the length the combine travels in the time the operator sets the measurement for (one, two, three or more seconds).
		The yield map also is a chance to pass down management and yield records to heirs, land buyers or renters.

	SUSTAINED YIELD PATH DEPENDENCE
		The sustained yield forestry methodology applied to old growth forests seeks to liquidate the old growth on a schedule creating a ‘regulated forest’,: crops of trees maturing as a flow of commodities.
		If six decades ago a management plan was begun to liquidate old growth and convert to an eighty year regulated forest rotation, it is no easy matter for a new management team or government to escape this management plan in later decades of the schedule.
		Where management is of forests already converted, SYPD or the need to produce an inflated flow of commodities does not allow for the return of significant areas of forests to fully functioning ecosystems within historical variability in order to allow for sustainable human use in the future.

	yield - Definitions from Dictionary.com
		To yield is to concede under some degree of pressure, but not necessarily to surrender totally: to yield ground to an enemy.
		Investors can use yield to measure the performance of their investment and compare it to the yield on other investments or securities.
		For example, a bond's yield may be stated in terms of its returns if held to maturity, if held to the call date, or if held to the put date; or the yield may be calculated simply on the basis of the interest the bond pays compared with its current market price.

	Freight's Yield Signs
		Yet strict management of yield has failed to catch on widely in the cargo industry: of the top 20 belly carriers, only five have installed such systems and those are limited in scope or are based on outdated technology.
		The airline industry's push for higher yield is a driving force behind the time-definite services spreading among the carriers, the guarantees that are being extended and even to the carriers' moves to link their networks in far-flung alliances.
		For all the complexity of the cargo business, the greatest barrier to true yield management at combination airlines may be the factor they most dislike discussing: passengers are the mainstay business and attract the greatest corporate attention, even at airlines that have significant cargo divisions.

	3 Guidelines for forest management planning
		Yield regulation, irrespective of the silvicultural system being applied, provides a basis for deriving a log harvest which is in balance with forest increment and for controlling the output to ensure that the cut is neither exceeded nor undercut.
		Yield Determination: The calculation, by volume or by area (or a combination of both), of the amount of forest produce that may be harvested annually, or periodically, from a specific area of forest over a stated period, in accordance with the objects of management.
		In order to monitor the yield over a longer term, of at least 15 years, the MAI for the whole of the forest management unit should be derived for this period and should be balanced against the total harvest for the same period.

	Netessine & Shumsky - Introduction to the Theory and Practice of Yield Management
		The techniques of yield management are relatively new - the first research to deal directly with these issues appeared less than 20 years ago.
		Broadcasting companies use yield management to determine how much inventory (advertising slots) to sell now to the "upfront market" and how much to reserve and perhaps sell later at a higher price to the "scatter market." Even manufacturers are using yield management techniques to increase profits.
		The purpose of this note is to introduce the fundamental concepts and trade-offs of yield management and to describe the parallels between yield management and the newsvendor framework that is an important model for inventory management.

	Forage Fertilization Based on Yield and Management Goals
		Yield levels such as these are based on experience in the area and are a reliable first estimate.
		Yields are expressed as a fraction of the maximum crop yield obtained with fertilization.
		For low testing soils, the cost to get near potential yield increases since the fertilizer rate needed is 1.5 to 4.0 times the removal rate rather than the 1 times removal rate needed on medium and high testing soils.

	Agroecosystem Management Research : Yield Maps
		Yield maps generated by modern combines used to harvest crops like wheat, grain sorghum, and corn have promoted considerable discussion by producers, agricultural consultants, and agri-business representatives.
		Even though it may not be possible to determine the factors that caused the lower yields, it usually helps to know when during the growing season the spatial variability in crop growth was first observed.
		Yield maps from a given field are likely to show different patterns from year-to-year because of differences in precipitation and temperature trends.
