Optimizing Call Center Staffing Using Simulation and Analytic Center Cutting-Plane Methods
We consider the problem of minimizing staffing costs in an inbound call center, while maintaining an acceptable level of service in multiple time periods. The problem is complicat...

Speeding up call center simulation and optimization by Markov chain uniformization
Staffing and scheduling optimization in large multiskill call centers is time-consuming, mainly because it requires lengthy simulations to evaluate performance measures and their ...

An Efficient Method to Compute Traffic Assignment Problems with Elastic Demands
The traffic assignment problem with elastic demands can be formulated as an optimization problem, whose objective is sum of a congestion function and a disutility function. We pro...

A simulation based scheduling model for call centers with uncertain arrival rates
In this paper we develop a two stage algorithm for scheduling call centers with strict SLAs and arrival rate uncertainty. The first cut schedule can be developed in less than a mi...
