| Abstract: | This paper concerns the optimal control of input to a FIFO jobshop with a single workstation. The input is jobs for which the processing and delivery times are observable upon arrival. The control is exercised by charging a price for each completed job. The objective is either profit maximization or welfare maximization. The semi-Markov decision processes that maximize the two objectives are studied simultaneously. Optimal prices are specified in terms of opportunity costs. |
