ABSTRACT
The scientific and proven method to assignment is Hungarian method. It is also known as ‘Floods’ technique or ‘Fast food technique’ It works on the principle of reducing the cost matrix to opportunity costs which shows the relative penalties associated with assigning resources to an activity as opposed to making the best or least cost assignment. If one can reduce the cost matrix to the extent of having at least one zero in each row and column, then it will be possible to make optimal assignment. An assignment problem is said to be unbalanced if the number of rows is not equal to the number of columns. A transportation problem can be converted to assignment problem if the supply/demand is in less quantity.
