उत्तर
Step 1: Subtract smallest element of each row from every element of that row.
| Jobs | I | II | III | IV |
| P | 6 | 0 | 8 | 4 |
| Q | 4 | 3 | 2 | 0 |
| R | 0 | 2 | 4 | 5 |
| S | 4 | 2 | 0 | 6 |
Step 2: Since each column contains element 0, column minimization will give us the some matrix.
Step 3: Drawing minimum number of horizontal and vertical lines to cover all zeros.
| Jobs | I | II | III | IV | ||
| ← | P | 6 | 0 | 8 | 4 | → |
| ← | Q | 4 | 3 | 2 | 0 | → |
| ← | R | 0 | 2 | 4 | 5 | → |
| ← | S | 4 | 2 | 0 | 6 | → |
∵ No. of lines drawn (4) = order of the matrix (4), optimal solution has reached.
Step 4: Assignment
| Jobs | I | II | III | IV |
| P | 6 | 0 | 8 | 4 |
| Q | 4 | 3 | 2 | 0 |
| R | 0 | 2 | 4 | 5 |
| S | 4 | 2 | 0 | 6 |
Job Assignment:
| Job | Machine | Min.cost |
| P | II | 25 |
| Q | IV | 21 |
| R | I | 19 |
| S | III | 34 |
| Total Cost | ₹ 99 |
Minimum Processing Cost = ₹ 99.

A plant manager has four subordinates and four tasks to perform. The subordinates differ in efficiency and task differ in their intrinsic difficulty. Estimates of the time subordinate would take to perform tasks are given in the following table:
| I | II | III | IV | |
| A | 3 | 11 | 10 | 8 |
| B | 13 | 2 | 12 | 2 |
| C | 3 | 4 | 6 | 1 |
| D | 4 | 15 | 4 | 9 |
Complete the following activity to allocate tasks to subordinates to minimize total time.
Solution:
Step I: Subtract the smallest element of each row from every element of that row:
| I | II | III | IV | |
| A | 0 | 8 | 7 | 5 |
| B | 11 | 0 | 10 | 0 |
| C | 2 | 3 | 5 | 0 |
| D | 0 | 11 | 0 | 5 |
Step II: Since all column minimums are zero, no need to subtract anything from columns.
Step III: Draw the minimum number of lines to cover all zeros.
| I | II | III | IV | |
| A | 0 | 8 | 7 | 5 |
| B | 11 | 0 | 10 | 0 |
| C | 2 | 3 | 5 | 0 |
| D | 0 | 11 | 0 | 5 |
Since minimum number of lines = order of matrix, optimal solution has been reached
Optimal assignment is A →`square` B →`square`
C →IV D →`square`
Total minimum time = `square` hours.
