Add to ORKGWe present a new unifying framework for investigating throughput-WIP (Work-in-Process) optimal control problems in queueing systems, based on reformulating them as linear programming (LP) problems with special structure: We show that if a throughput-WIP performance pair in a stochastic system satisfies the Threshold Property we introduce in this paper, then we can reformulate the problem of optimizing a linear objective of throughput-WIP performance as a (semi-infinite) LP problem over a polygon with special structure (a threshold polygon). The strong structural properties of such polygones explain the optimality of threshold policies for optimizing linear performance objectives: their vertices correspond to the performance pairs of thresho...
