Abstract
In this paper, we analyze a Markovian queueing system with multipletypes of customers and two queues in tandem.All customers have to go through two stages of services.In Stage 1, the queueing system has multiple identical servers while in Stage 2,there is one single-server queue for each type of customers.The queueing discipline in the whole system is Blocked Customer Delayed (BCD).We first obtain the steady-state probability distribution of thequeueing system and the expected waiting time for customers.We then apply the queueing model to solve an optimal pricing policy problemin assuming that the demand rate is dependent on the price.The objective is to minimize the number of serversin the first stage and also maximize the expected earningsby taking into account the demand and the prices.We also obtained some analytic results for the optimal pricing strategy.
