Operation Management

You can track the forecasted number of rooms available for sale for any future date using the following given formula: The forecasted number of rooms that is available for sale = number of guest rooms (-) number of out of order rooms (-) number of stayover rooms (-) number of reserved rooms (+) numbers of no- show rooms (+) number of cancelation rooms (+) number of check-out rooms (+) number of understay rooms (-) number of over-stay rooms Non-automated and semi-automated systems can measure the number of rooms available for sale forecasts based on demand and usage, ranging from three-day to ten-day forecasts. However, predictions can be created for any possible period at any moment under completely automatic systems. The use of software can forecast room count conditions and minimize repetitive labor effort and margins of human error.
