Step 1: Subtract the smallest element of each row from the every element of that row.

Packing Books Toys Crockery Cutlery
Workers
A 0 8 7 5
B 11 0 10 0
C 2 3 5 0
D 0 11 0 5

Step 2: Since each column contains minimum element 0, subtracting it from every element of each column will given the same table as above.

Step 3: Drawing horizontal and vertical lines to cover all zeros.

Workers
A 0 0 7 5
B 11 0 10 0
C 2 3 5 0
D 0 11 0 5

Step 4: Number of horizontal lines (4) = order of matrix (4), optimal solution has reached.

Assigning through zeroes, we get

Packing Books Toys Crockery Cutlery
Workers
A `bb(0)` 8 7 5
B 11 `bb(0)` 10 `bb(cancel(0))`
C 2 3 5 `bb(0)`
D `bb(cancel(0))` 11 `bb(0)` 5

∴ Optimal Assignment schedule: A → Books

B → Bays, C → Cutlery, D → Crockery

Total minimum Time = 3 + 2 + 4 + 1 = 10 min

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`
