A Constraint Programming Approach for Solving a Queueing Control Problem
In a facility with front room and back room operations, it is useful to switch workers between the rooms in order to cope with changing customer demand. Assuming stochastic customer arrival and service times, we seek a policy for switching workers such that the expected customer waiting time is minimized while the expected back room staffing is sufficient to perform all work. Three novel constr...
متن کاملSolving a Stochastic Queueing Control Problem with Constraint Programming
In this paper, a retail facility which has front room and back room operations, and crosstrained workers, is considered. In particular, it is of interest to the facility to determine optimal times for switching workers between the two rooms under stochastic customer arrival so that expected customer waiting time is minimized, but all work in the back room is performed. Three constraint programm...
متن کاملA Constraint Programming Approach for Solving a Queueing Design and Control Problem
A with frontroom and backroom operations has the option of hiring specialized or cross-trained workers. Cross-trained workers can be switched between the two rooms depending on demand but are more expensive than specialized ones. Assuming stochastic customer arrival and service times, we seek a smallestcost combination of cross-trained and specialized workers, together with a policy for switchi...
متن کاملA New Approach for Solving Interval Quadratic Programming Problem
This paper discusses an Interval Quadratic Programming (IQP) problem, where the constraints coefficients and the right-hand sides are represented by interval data. First, the focus is on a common method for solving Interval Linear Programming problem. Then the idea is extended to the IQP problem. Based on this method each IQP problem is reduced to two classical Quadratic Programming (QP) proble...
متن کاملSolving a Stochastic Queueing Design and Control Problem with Constraint Programming
A facility with front room and back room operations has the option of hiring specialized or, more expensive, cross-trained workers. Assuming stochastic customer arrival and service times, we seek a smallest-cost combination of cross-trained and specialized workers satisfying constraints on the expected customer waiting time and expected number of workers in the back room. A constraint programmi...
