  1. PDF UNIT 5 ASSIGNMENT PROBLEMS

    5.2 ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM AND ITS SOLUTION An assignment problem may be considered as a special type of transportation problem in which the number of sources and destinations are equal. The capacity of each source as well as the requirement of each destination is taken as 1. In the case of an assignment problem, the given matrix must necessarily

  2. PDF 4 UNIT FOUR: Transportation and Assignment problems

    In this unit we extend the theory of linear programming to two special linear programming problems, the Transportation and Assignment Problems. Both of these problems can be solved by the simplex algorithm, but the process would result in very large simplex tableaux and numerous simplex iterations. Because of the special characteristics of each ...

  5. PDF Transportation Problem: A Special Case for Linear Programming Problems

    LP problems, the number of routes (or, in this case, assignments) must equal the number of sources or sites (in this case, workers) plus the number of destinations (in this case, jobs) minus one; is, Assignments = Workers + Jobs - 1; that is, Assignments = 6. - 1. We can see that for our problem, we have six nonempty cells.

  6. PDF Unit 1 Lesson 19: Assignment problem

    An assignment problem is a special type of linear programming problem where the objective is to minimize the cost or time of completing a number of jobs by a number of persons. Furthermore, the structure of an assignment problem is identical to that of a transportation problem. Application Areas of Assignment Problem. Though assignment problem ...

  7. PDF UNIT 2 LINEAR PROGRAMMING PROBLEMS

    In Sec. 2.3, you have learnt the mathematical formulation of a linear programming problem (LPP). In this section, we discuss how to solve this linear programming problem graphically using the method of graphs of the inequalities. The graphical method is used to solve linear programming problems having two decision variables.

    In which we introduce linear programming. 1 Linear Programming A linear program is an optimization problem in which we have a collection of variables, which can take real values, and we want to nd an assignment of values to the variables that satis es a given collection of linear inequalities and that maximizes or minimizes a given linear function.

  14. Assignment problem

    The assignment problem is a fundamental combinatorial optimization problem. In its most general form, the problem is as follows: The problem instance has a number of agents and a number of tasks. Any agent can be assigned to perform any task, incurring some cost that may vary depending on the agent-task assignment.

  15. Assignment Model

    There are two main conditions for applying Hungarian Method: (1) Square Matrix (n x n). (2) Problem should be of minimization type. Assignment model is a special application of Linear Programming Problem (LPP), in which the main objective is to assign the work or task to a group of individuals such that; i) There is only one assignment.
