Assignment model is a powerful operations research techniques that can be used to solve assignment or allocation problem. This study applies the assignment model to the course allocation problem in Nigeria tertiary institution in order to maximize lecturers’ effectiveness. A well-structured questionnaire was used to obtain data from lecturers and solved with Hungarian method. The study revealed...

One of the basic combinatorial optimization problems is the assignment problem that deals with assigning jobs to individuals. In traditional assignment problems, n jobs usually assign to n individuals such that the total cost is minimized or the total profit is maximized. However, in numerous real-life applications, various attributes could be considered in assignment problems while data (obj...

intentional assignment of entitlements (as opposed to debts) is a legal institution which is based on the possibility of separation of entitlements from the personality of creditor and of its assignment to a third party. in the voluntary assignment of entitlements, the creditors may assign their rights to a third party. after long discussions, voluntary assignment of rights has been accepted in...

The paper presents experimental results on quadratic assignment problem. The “scanning area” method formulated for radioelectronic equipment design is applied. For all more complex tests ours results are better or coincident with the ones known in literature. Conclusion concerning the effectiveness of method are given.

 We consider a generalization of the classical quadratic assignment problem, where coordinates of locations are uncertain and only upper and lower bounds are known for each coordinate. We develop a mixed integer linear programming model as a robust counterpart of the proposed uncertain model. A key challenge is that, since the uncertain model involves nonlinear objective function of the ...

assigning facilities to locations is one of the important problems, which significantly is influence in transportation cost reduction. in this study, we solve quadratic assignment problem (qap), using a meta-heuristic algorithm with deterministic tasks and equality in facilities and location number. it should be noted that any facility must be assign to only one location. in this paper, first o...
