Assign the five jobs to five machines so as
to minimize the total cost
Find the minimum element of each row in the assignment matrix (say ai) and write it on the right hand side of the matrix, as follows: Then divide each element of ith row of the matrix by ai. These operations create ones to each rows, and the matrix reduces to following matrix. Now find the minimum element of each column in assignment matrix (say bj), and write it below that column. Then divide each element of jth column of the matrix by bj The minimum number of lines required to pass through all the ones of thematrix is 5 So, the complete assignment is possible • we can assign the ones and the solution is (1,5) (2,3) (3,4) (4,1) (5,2) and minimum cost is 24 A company has 5 jobs to be done. The following matrix shows the return of assigning ith machine to the jth job. Assign the five jobs to the five machines so as to maximize the total return step 1. Find the maximum element of each row in the assignment matrix(say ai) and write it on the right hand side of the matrix, as follows: Then divide each element of ith row of the matrix by ai. These operations create ones to each rows, and the matrix reduces to following matrix • step 2. • Since we can not make assignment in terms of the ones, now find the maximum element of each column in assignment matrix ( say bj), and write it below that column. • Then divide each element of jth column of the matrix By bj • These operations create ones to each columns, and matrix reduces to following matrix , feasible assignment can not be secured from step (1) and (2) so, go to step 3 step 3. Draw the minimum number of lines equired to pass through all the ones of the matrix. Clearly the four lines are passing through all the ones. Since the number of lines is not equal to the order of the matrix, optimal assignment has not been reached step 4. • Select the largest element (say • dij) out of those which do not lie on any of the lines in the above matrix. It is in the third column dij=0.83. Then divide each element of the third column, which dij is on it. This operation creates a new one to this column Now, we can assign the ones, it is based on priority rule. Priority rule is assigning one on the rows which have greatest element on the right hand side, respectively. The details of this program are as follows: • Machine 3 assigns to job 4 profit 14 • Machine 4 assigns to job 2 profit 14 • Machine 5 assigns to job 1 profit 7 • Machine 1 assigns to job 3 profit 10 • Machine 2 assigns to job 5 profit 5 • so the optimal assignment has been reached, and total profit according to this plan is 10+5+14+14+7=50. • References http://www.m-hikari.com/ams/ams-2012/ams- 45-48-2012/basirzadehAMS45-48-2012.pdf Thanks to • Hadi Basirzadeh • Department of Mathematics • Shahid Chamran University, Ahvaz, Iran • [email protected]
