Assignment Model
 The assignment method is any technique used
to assign organizational resources to activities.
 We represent each agent as an origin node and each task as a
destination node.
 The best assignment method will maximize profits and minimize
costs.
 An assignment method can be used in the following situations of
assigning jobs to machines, agents to tasks, sales personnel to
sales territories, contracts to bidders, etc.
Case Summary

The mathematics department of a college in

Chennai will be scheduling faculty to teach
courses during the following academic year. 8
courses needed to be covered by 6 faculties.

Based on the evaluation of students from the

previous term the courses are to be assigned
to each faculty such that no courses are left
out.

Some professors have their own preference

Special Constraints

• Prof. Bhaskar can handle 2 courses at the

same time, whereas the others can handle
only 1.
• Prof. Charles cannot be assigned to
Combinatorics if Prof. Bharati is assigned with
Real Analysis.
• If Prof. Xavier is assigned with Real Analysis
then Prof. Bhaskar cannot be assigned to
Linear Algebra.
• Prof. Chris Monica can be assigned to
combinatorics if and only if Prof. Isido is
assigned to Linear Algebra
• C programming must be assigned to either of
Prof. Bharati or Prof. Monica or Prof. Kins

Conclusion

 Thus by using the assignment model the professors are assigned to the courses
that they are rated to be best by the students.
 With this model, the wastage of time in allotting the professors manually can be
reduced.
 At the same time, with the best faculty for each course, there would be an
increase in the overall efficiency of students.
