ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM
Introduction:
Assignment is a typical optimization technique practically
useful in a situation where a certain number of tasks are required to be
assigned to an equal number of facilities, on a one to one basis, so that the
resultant effectiveness is optimized. eg. Jobs to be assigned to machines or
workers, salesmen to the sales territories, vehicles to routes etc.
Note: Assignment problem is a case of transportation problems
where the number of sources is equal to the number of destinations (i.e. m = n
or number of rows = number of columns) and the supply and demand figures for
each of the sources and destinations is one.
An Assignment Table or Matrix used in the Hungarian method
consists of n rows (for say 1,
2, 3, 4 etc) and n columns (for machines A, B, C, D etc.) and its elements
indicate the effectiveness (say time required for each machine to perform each
of these four jobs) as -
