摘要: In response to the growing problems of climate change and global warming, airline companies, as members of the global village, are actively promoting energy-saving and carbon reducing measures, and are strictly controlling and managing greenhouse gases generated in the process of providing high-quality transportation services in an attempt to reduce environmental impacts. As environmental protection has become an indicator of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), this study integrates Activity-Based Costing (ABC) and the Theory of Constraints (TOC) and adopts a mathematical programming model in an attempt to provide the airline industry with a method to lower fuel consumption by reducing the weight of seats in passenger cabins. In order to contribute to environmental protection, future research could develop a variety of energy-saving and carbon reducing programs on the basis of this model. •An evaluation model for energy-saving plans in the airline industry is proposed.•An aircraft weight reduction plan is provided.•Activity-Based Costing (ABC) in resource allocation is adopted.•Bottleneck analysis by using the Theory of Constraints (TOC) is applied.•A hybrid decision-making model that integrates ABC and TOC is provided. 出版者: Elsevier Ltd 出版日期: 2014-08-01 出處: Journal of air transport management, 2014-08, Vol.40, p.65-77 版權: 2014 Elsevier Ltd 識別號: ISSN: 0969-6997 識別號: DOI: 10.1016/j.jairtraman.2014.06.004
