A queueing model is considered in which a controller can increase the service rate. There is a holding cost represented by functionh and the service cost proportional to the increased rate with coefficientl. The objective is to minimize the total expected discounted cost.Whenh andl are small and the system operates in heavy traffic, the control problem can be approximated by a singular stochastic control problem for the Brownian motion, namely, the so-called “reflected follower” problem. The optimal policy in this problem is characterized by a single numberz* so that the optimal process is a reflected diffusion in [0,z*]. To obtainz* one needs to solve a free boundary problem for the second order ordinary differential equation. For the original problem the policy which increases to the maximum the service rate when the normalized queue-length exceedsz* is approximately optimal.
