Computing the expected cost of an appointment schedule for statistically identical customers with probabilistic service times.

A cogent method is presented for computing the expected cost of an appointment schedule where customers are statistically identical, the service time distribution has known mean and variance, and customer no-shows occur with time-dependent probability. The approach is computationally efficient and c...
