Fluid approximation analysis of a call center model with time-varying arrivals and after-call work

Important features to be included in queueing-theoretic models of the call center operation are multiple servers, impatient customers, time-varying arrival process, and operator’s after-call work (ACW). We propose a fluid approximation technique for the queueing model with these features by extendin...
