Operations strategy
RESPONSE STRATEGY – ORDER WINNER IN FLEXIBILITY & QUALITY
Suppliers’ goal
They are able to adapt themselves, their productions and deliveries to what Hilton’s need and order. It is a daily communication the key tool to quickly respond to requirements. In such a way, stock outs are minimized.
Process characteristics
HHonors invest in excess capacity and flexible processes. That is why they want to forecast tomorrow’s trends: they already invest in lobbies’ restructuring and staffing.Moreover, these investments do not cost directly to Hilton but to hotels’ owners (due to franchises’ management systems).
Inventory Management
As said before, the brand uses two ways of stock, to ensure supply.
Revenue management
It is the process of making forecasting and computerizing the gross margin profit. In detail, yield management seems to be an identification of what the demand trends are. Hilton has a team with talents in forecast validation and demand generation.All of team members are trained carefully in selling rooms and dealing with guest at the optimal rate. This yiels also includes guests’ history and thus loyalty. We also can notice that this revenue policy is possible because of the HHonors’ group’s structure. The more brands the company has, the likeliest it is to match offer & demand, optimize rates and catch tourists or businessmen.
