Abstract:

A practically important model is the queuing model with controllable service rate. This paper considers a single-server model with batch Poisson input and two service modes, where switch-over times are involved when changing the service mode. A class of simple switch-over rules is considered and, using Markov decision theory, a tailor-made policy-iteration algorithm is developed for computing a rule that mimimizes the long-run average number of customers in the system.
