Abstract
The problem considered here is to find the optimal service control policy for a serial production line with random demand. The workstations are reliable or unreliable. It is shown that the optimal policy is of bang-bang type by minimizing the expected discounted cost. For the two-WS system, the optimal control policy can be described by two switching curves and the asymptote properties of the optimal policy are derived.
