Abstract
We consider a capacity allocation model motivated by health care service system serving customers from several locations. There is a service station at each location, which can serve dedicated customers as well as customers from other locations. Traveling cost will be incurred if a customer from a location switches to another location to attain service. We study the optimal capacity allocation policy that minimizes the total cost of waiting and traveling.
