Journal ArticleDOI
Optimality of the shortest line discipline
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered a queuing system consisting of a finite number of identical exponential servers, each server has its own queue, and upon arrival each customer must be assigned to some server's queue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal price skimming by a monopolist facing rational consumers
David Besanko,Wayne Winston +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a subgame perfect Nash equilibrium pricing policy is characterized and shown to involve intertemporal price discrimination, and the authors compare this policy to the optimal policy for a monopolist facing myopic consumers.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Teachers' Forum: Management Science with Spreadsheets for MBAs at Indiana University
TL;DR: A highly successful spreadsheet-based management science course for MBA students at Indiana University deals mainly with simulation and mathematical optimization with spreadsheet solvers and includes many applications of management science that are extremely relevant to these students as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Technical Note—Optimality of Monotonic Policies for Multiple-Server Exponential Queuing Systems with State-Dependent Arrival Rates
TL;DR: An exponential queuing system consisting of several removable servers in which the arrival rate depends on the current system state is considered, and conditions that ensure that the number of servers in operation is a non-decreasing function of thenumber of customers in the system are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal Control of Discrete and Continuous Time Maintenance Systems with Variable Service Rates
TL;DR: Under the assumption that costs depend on the repair rate and lost production, conditions are derived that ensure that the optimal repair rate for the continuous time maintenance system is a non-increasing function of the number of machines in good condition.
