Can I (and when should I) Re-Optimize?

Re-optimization will allow users to re-run the optimization solution after making overrides to the forecast to generate new recommended inventory allocation results. A re-optimization is triggered through the “Re-Optimize” button to the bottom left of the forecast output grid.

Re-Optimization Notifications

Once triggering a re-optimization, FareVantage^TM will provide notifications regarding the status of the re-optimization through the notifications menu. A re-optimization has three statuses: running, complete, and error. Once a re-optimization completes, users can click “view results” to load the re-optimized recommendations in the inventory screen. A re-opt sweep occurs every 15 to 30 minutes to check whether a re-opt has errored out. If a re-opt has errored, the notification will appear in the window and the user will be able to retry the re-opt.

Re-Optimization Results

Following the completion of a re-optimization, the following columns are updated with new recommendations in FareVantage^TM:

• Status (Inventory Grid)
• Rem Dmd (Inventory Grid)
• Alloc (Inventory Grid)
• FV (FareVantage^TM Profile - Inventory Grid)
• Recs (Allocations Grid in OD Override Modal)

Re-Optimization Status

Journeys that have been re-optimized or impacted by the re-optimization will receive a “Re-Optimized” status. For these new recommendations to be sent to the reservation system, a user must approve the recommendations, which will shift the record status to “Approved.”
