The real cost of making customers wait

Abstract

This paper considers the problem of estimating the service capacity that should be provided in a situation in which additional capacity may result in greater demand. Difficulties with conventional approaches are discussed. It is shown to be possible to estimate optimal service capacity in a relatively convenient manner from transaction data in some situations. This procedure has pedagogical as well as practical uses.
