Reducing the Size of a Waiting Line Optimally
Author:
Abstract: The problem of reducing the number of customers waiting for service in a modifiedM/G/k queueing model is considered. We assume that the optimizer can decide how many servers are working at any time instant. The optimization problem ends as soon as the objective has been achieved or a time limit has been reached. Cases when dynamic programming can be used to determine the optimal control even if the service time is not exponentially distributed are presented.
