Multiple dispatches in a poisson process

  • Colin E. Bell

Abstract

An optimal policy is characterized for operating the following system. Customers arrive in [O, T] according to a homogeneous Poisson process. Instantaneous services are provided at times O and T. Additional instantaneous services can be provided at N intermediate stop ping times. These times must be chosen to minimize the total expected customer‐hours in [O, T] spent waiting for service.
