Optimal prices for finite capacity queueing systems

چکیده
We prove a lower bound on the optimal price for a fairly large class of blocking systems with general arrival and service processes, determine optimal price expressions for M/M/1/m and M/GI/s/s systems, and investigate how optimal prices change with changes in the size of the waiting room and service

Optimal Pricing for Finite Capacity Queueing Systems with Multiple Customer Classes
We determine optimal static prices for a finite capacity queueing system serving customers from different classes. We prove an upper bound for the optimal arrival rates for a fairly large class of queueing systems and provide sufficient conditions that ensure the existence of a unique optimal arrival rate vector. We show that these conditions hold for M/M/1/m and M/G/s/s systems and prove struc...
متن کاملA Note on Optimal Pricing for Finite Capacity Queueing Systems with Multiple Customer Classes
This paper investigates optimal static prices for a finite capacity queueing system serving customers from different classes. We first show that the original multi-class formulation in which the price for each class is a decision variable can be reformulated as a single dimensional problem with the total load as the decision variable. Using this alternative formulation, we prove an upper bound ...
متن کاملOptimal Pricing for a Service Facility
This paper investigates optimal pricing policies for a service facility modeled as a queueing system. Arriving customers are accepted if they are willing to pay the price charged by the service provider and if there is room in the waiting area. Capacity of the waiting area can be either finite or infinite. We determine expressions for the optimal prices that maximize the service provider’s long...
متن کاملOptimal Price and Delay Differentiation in Queueing Systems
We study a multi-server queueing model of a revenue-maximizing firm providing a service to a market of heterogeneous priceand delay-sensitive customers with private individual preferences. The firm may offer a selection of service classes that are differentiated in prices and delays. Using a deterministic relaxation, which highlights the first-order economic structure of the problem, we constru...
متن کاملCongestion-Dependent Pricing in a Stochastic Service System
We study a service facility modelled as a queueing system with finite or infinite capacity. Arriving customers enter if there is room in the facility and if they are willing to pay the price posted by the service provider. Customers belong to one of a finite number of classes that have different willingnesses-to-pay. Moreover, there is a penalty for congestion in the facility in the form of sta...
