摘要: 等待時間一直是服務品質的重要指標,例如減少在醫療保健,公共服務和各種重點服務(VIP)系統的等待時間。本論文考慮由兩個不同的服務站組成的雙線服務系統,包含一個免費服務站,和一個付費服務站,每個服務站都有隊列和服務提供者,據此建立數學等候模型。 兩個服務站提供相同的服務內容。 假設其中付費服務站的隊列具有長度限制,該服務站為了減少客戶等待時間維持服務質量而採取溢價服務。 溢價服務意指系統通過收取額外費用提供另一服務選擇的機制。\n\n由於有一些客戶會根據自己的時間價值做出決策,我們在這種雙線服務系統中研究隊列長度信息對顧客行為的影響,\n我們發現向客戶提供即時隊列長度信息可以顯著地減少總等待成本。此外,從最小化所有客戶的總等待成本和最大化付費服務提供者的利潤的角度,我們利用數學模型分析提供即時隊列長度信息與否之影響。\n\n在論文中,我們展示此模型能夠反映減輕客戶等待之負擔的信息效應,同時也揭示價格策略和服務保障對雙線服務系統服務指標的影響。
Waiting time has been an unavoidable concern for service such as healthcare, public provision and VIP systems of various services. We address this issue for considering a two-tier service system which is composed of two different service stations: a gratis station and a toll station. Each service station is set up by a queue and a service provider. The service providers of service stations provide the same service. In the thesis, we study a queueing model that one of the service stations charges a premium in order to guarantee a maximum expected waiting time and the queue of this service station has a length limit.\n\nWe study the effects of the queue length information on the performance of such a two-tier service system with customers who make decisions based on their own time value.\nWe show that offering the real-time queue length information to customers can effectively enhance the performances of both services in the system.\n\nFurthermore, for both with and without real-time queue length information scenarios, we analyze the problem from two perspectives. There are the perspectives of minimizing the expected social waiting cost for customers and maximizing the expected profit for the manager.\nWe show that this model can obviously reflect the information effects of alleviating the burden of waiting for customers, and it also reveals the impact of service guarantee and price discrimination on the performance of the two-tier service system.
