managed to survive crises that could drive itout of business.The new planning system provided more flexibility in choosing thedestinations that it serves,the routes and the schedules.Improved schedules yielded intofaster and more reliable service.OR applied to this complex system with a lot ofinterdependencies resulted in an efficient use of the assets.With the new system,FedExmaintained a high load factor while being able to service in a reliable,flexible andprofitable manner.The model also enabled the company to foresee future risks and totake measures against undesirable outcomes.The systematic approach has been effectivein convincing investors and employees about the benefits of the changes.Consequently,\"today FedEx is one of the nation's largest integrated,multi-conveyance freight carriers\"[p.32].  \n## CHAPTER 2:OVERVIEW OF THE OPERATIONS RESEARCHMODELING APPROACH\n\n2.1-1.  \n(a)The rise of electronic brokerage firms in the late 90s was a threat against full-servicefinancial service firms like Merrill Lynch.Electronic trading offered very low costs,which were hard to compete with for full-service firms.With banks,discount brokers andelectronic trading firms involved,the competition was fierce.Merrill Lynch needed anurgent response to these changes in order to survive.  \n(b)\"The group's mission is to aid strategic decision making in complex businesssituations through quantitative modeling and analysis\"[p.8].  \n(c)The data obtained for each client consisted of \"data for six categories of revenue,fourcategories of account type,nine asset allocation categories,along with data on number oftrades,mutual fund exchanges and redemptions,sales of zero coupon bonds,andpurchases of new issues\"[p.10].  \n(d)As a result of this study,two main pricing options,viz.,an asset-based pricing optionand a direct online pricing option were offered to the clients.The first targeted the clientswho want advice from a financial advisor.The clients who would choose this optionwould be charged at a fixed rate of the value of their assets and would not pay for eachtrade.The latter pricing option was for the clients who want to invest online and who donot want advice.These self-directed investors would be charged for every
