ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM
ABC Company is engaged in manufacturing 5 brands of packed
snacks.
S1 S2 S3 S4 S5
B1 4 6 7 5 11
B2 7 3 6 9 5
B3 8 5 4 6 9
B4 9 12 7 11 10
B5 7 5 9 8 11
Assuming five steps are S1, S2, S3, S4 and S5 and five brands are
B1, B2, B3, B4 and B5. Find the optimum assignment of products
on these setups resulting in the minimum cost.
Solution
Step 1: subtract minimum value in each row from every value in
the raw.
S1 S2 S3 S4 S5
B1 0 2 3 1 7
B2 4 0 3 6 2
B3 4 1 0 2 5
B4 2 5 0 4 3
B5 2 0 4 3 6
Step 2: subtract minimum value in each column
S1 S2 S3 S4 S5
B1 0 2 3 1 7
B2 4 0 3 6 2
B3 4 1 0 2 5
B4 2 5 0 4 3
B5 2 0 4 3 6
Step 3:
S1 S2 S3 S4 S5
B1 0 2 4 0 5
B2 4 0 4 5 0
B3 3 0 0 0 2
B4 1 4 0 2 0
B5 2 0 5 2 4
Raw = column
Step 4: assign zero position
S1 S2 S3 S4 S5
B1 0 2 4 0 5
B2 4 0 4 5 0
B3 3 0 0 0 2
B4 1 4 0 2 0
B5 2 0 5 2 4
Optimal solution
Product Cost

B2 S6 5
B3 S3 6
B4 S1 7
B5 S2 5
Total 27
Formulation & graphic solution
Solve graphically:
Minimise Z=12x1 + 3x2
Subject to 4x1 + 6x2 > 24000
X1 + x2 > 5000
8x1 + 2x2 > 16000
X1 , x 2 > 0
1Z is minimum at either x1 = 0 and x2 = 8, or x1 = 1 and x2 = 4
since Z(A : 0, 8) = 24, Z(B : 1, 4) = 24, Z(C : 3, 2) = 42 and
Z(D : 6, 0) = 72.
