| Abstract: | Motivated by a factory scheduling problem, the author considers the problem of input control, subject to a specified product mix, and priority sequencing in a two-station multiclass queueing network with general service time distributions and a general routing structure. The objective is to minimize the long-run expected number of the customers in the system subject to a constraint on the long-run expected average output rate. Under balanced heavy loading conditions, this scheduling problem is approximated by a control problem involving Brownian motion. The resulting sequencing policy dynamicly prioritizes customers according to reduced costs calculated from a linear program. |
