उत्तर

Step 1 : The problem is unbalanced. So, it is balanced by introducing a dummy machine Mwith O.

Step 2 : Minimum element of each row is subtracted from every element in that row.

Step 3 : Zero element are covered with minimum number of straight lines :

Minimum number of lines = order of matrix = 5
∴  Optimum solution is reached
Step 4 : Making assignment at single zero of the row and then at single zero of the column.

The optional assignment is
M1 → A
M2  B
M3 → E
M4 → D
M5 → C
∴ Minimum Time= 9 + 9 + 7 + 7 + 0 = 32 hrs.

  I II III IV V
1 10 5 9 18 11
2 13 9 6 12 14

A job production unit has four jobs P, Q, R, S which can be manufactured on each of the four machines I, II, III and IV. The processing cost of each job for each machine is given in the following table :

Job Machines
(Processing cost in ₹)
I II III IV
P 31 25 33 29
Q 25 24 23 21
R 19 21 23 24
S 38 36 34 40

Complete the following activity to find the optimal assignment to minimize the total processing cost.

Solution:

Step 1: Subtract the smallest element in each row from every element of it. New assignment matrix is obtained as follows :

Job Machines
(Processing cost in ₹)
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: Subtract the smallest element in each column from every element of it. New assignment matrix is obtained as above, because each column in it contains one zero.

Step 3: Draw minimum number of vertical and horizontal lines to cover all zeros:

Job Machines
(Processing cost in ₹)
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 4: From step 3, as the minimum number of straight lines required to cover all zeros in the assignment matrix equals the number of rows/columns. Optimal solution has reached.

Examine the rows one by one starting with the first row with exactly one zero is found. Mark the zero by enclosing it in (`square`), indicating assignment of the job. Cross all the zeros in the same column. This step is shown in the following table :

Job Machines
(Processing cost in ₹)
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 5: It is observed that all the zeros are assigned and each row and each column contains exactly one assignment. Hence, the optimal (minimum) assignment schedule is :

Job Machine Min.cost
P II `square`
Q `square` 21
R I `square`
S III 34

Hence, total (minimum) processing cost = 25 + 21 + 19 + 34 = ₹`square`
