In some service systems, the total number of customers is known in advance, and customers must be served before a strict deadline. This applies, for example, to dedicated check-in processes at airports. Maximilian Kunz’s research deals with the performance evaluation and optimization of such a queueing system with a finite customer population and nonstationary arrivals. He focuses on developing staffing policies that determine the optimal number of check-in counters that balance service quality and costs while exploiting knowledge about the finite number of customers and the number of arrived customers.
