Synopsis

Dynamic scheduling insights for complex two-class queues

Discover how heavy-traffic analysis turns a difficult queueing problem into practical scheduling rules. This work applies diffusion control ideas to systems with setup costs or setup times, delivering clear policies you can implement.

The book presents a structured approach to understanding how to balance holding costs with setup costs or times. It explains why the policies differ between setup costs and setup times and shows how the analysis leads to simple, testable rules. With a mix of theory and numerical results, it provides insight into when and why certain strategies work.
  • Learn how a diffusion-control viewpoint yields a one-dimensional, workload-based perspective on scheduling decisions
  • See how setup costs and setup times produce fundamentally different optimal policies
  • Gain a practical two-parameter policy that is easy to implement and near-optimal across many scenarios
  • Review numerical findings that illustrate policy performance and robustness
Ideal for readers of operations research, production systems, and advanced queueing theory who want concrete scheduling guidance grounded in heavy-traffic analysis.
