Analyzing the basic conditions of modern service and production processes, the strengthened competition constraints and unpredictable demand fluctuations are obvious factors which c- ate an intense pressure, on the one hand, to reduce costs through an efficient process control and, on the other hand, to optimize revenue through an adequate capacity and price control (demand-side revenue optimization). Two points can be recognized when analyzing the - search on this basic profit maximization problem: Firstly, much of the research focuses on the cost-reduction problem. This is characterized,...
