Rational Abandonment from Tele-Queues: Nonlinear Waiting Costs with Heterogeneous Preferences
We consider the modelling of abandonment from a queueing system by impatient customers. Within the proposed model, customers act rationally to maximise a utility function that weights service utility against expected waiting cost. Customers are heterogeneous, in the sense that their utility function parameters may vary across the customer population. The queue is assumed invisible to waiting cu...
متن کاملDesigning a Call Center with Impatient Customers
T he most common model to support workforce management of telephone call centers is the M/M/N/B model, in particular its special cases M/M/N (Erlang C, which models out busy signals) and M/M/N/N (Erlang B, disallowing waiting). All of these models lack a central prevalent feature, namely, that impatient customers might decide to leave (abandon) before their service begins. In this paper, we ana...

متن کاملThe truncated normal distribution: Applications to queues with impatient customers
Motivated by heavy traffic approximations for single server queueswith abandonment, we provide an exact expression for the moments of the truncated normal distribution using Stein’s lemma. Consequently, our moment expressions provide insight into the steady state skewness and kurtosis dynamics of single server queues with impatient customers. Moreover, based on the truncated normal distribution...
