Consolidating or non-consolidating queues: A game theoretic queueing model with holding costs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a two-server queueing system in which the servers choose their service rate based on the demand and holding cost allocation scheme offered by the demand generating entity. We provide an optimal holding cost allocation scheme that leads to the maximum possible service rate for each of a pooled and a split system. Our results suggest that careful allocation of holding costs can create incentives that enable minimum turnaround times using a common queue. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Analysis of a customer assignment model with no state information
In this paper we analyse a queueing network consisting of parallel queues and arriving customers which have to be assigned to one of the queues. The assignment rule may not depend on the numbers of customers in the queues. Our goal is to find a policy which is optimal with respect to the long run average cost. We will consider two cases, holding costs and waiting times. A recently developed alg...
متن کاملOptimal Stochastic Scheduling of Forest Networks with Switching Penalties Author(s):
We present structural properties of optimal policies for the problem of scheduling a single server in a forest network of N queues (without arrivals) subject to switching penalties. In addition to linear holding costs, we impose either lump sum switching costs or batch set-up delays which are incurred at each instant the server processes a job in a queue different from the previous one. We use ...
متن کاملShipment Consolidation: Who Pays for It and How Much?
Consolidating orders in inventory management increases order size, exploits economy of scale, and potentially lowers costs. But it is not always apparent how to divide up the resulting lower costs. The analysis of cost allocation in different inventory settings has a name and is now referred to as Inventory Games. This work examines collaborative procurement for the EOQ model for multiple items...
متن کاملStability of Self-Consolidating Concrete Containing Different Viscosity Modifiers
The main objective of this paper is to assess the effect of different viscosity-enhancing admixture (VEA) types and concentrations on deformability and stability of self-consolidating concrete (SCC). Two polysaccharide-based VEAs, one cellulose-based VEA, and a modified-startch VEA are used in this investigation. Regardless of polymer type, results showed that the incorporation of VEA leads to ...
متن کاملDesigning of Supply Chain Coordination Mechanism with Leadership Considering (RESEARCH NOTE)
Abstract Vertical cooperative (co-op) advertising is typically a cost sharing mechanism and coordinated effort by the channel’s members in order to increase demand and overall profits. In this marketing strategy, the manufacturer shares a fraction of the retailer’s advertising investment. This paper studies the advertising and pricing decisions in a retailer-manufacturer supply chain in which...
