An optimal control problem for a single bulk‐service queue is considered. Theorems that characterize the optimal control strategy in some circumstances are proved; they complement earlier results by Deb and Serfozo for a comparable problem. Most of the analysis uses direct probabilistic reasoning rather than specialized methods such as dynamic programming. Some illustrative examples are presented.
