In a work center, six machinists were uniquely qualified to operate any one of the five machines in the shop. The work center had considerable backlog, and all five machines were kept busy at all times. The one machinist not operating a machine was usually occupied doing clerical or routine maintenance work. (Hint: Add a dummy column with zero cost values, and solve using the assignment method) Machine
MACHINIST 1 2 3 4 5
A 55 90 45 80 120
B 100 75 105 70 120
C 40 65 115 90 40
D 105 100 70 110 120
E 50 50 120 55 95
F 80 65 45 105 95
Given the value schedule above for each machinist on each of the five machines, develop an optimal assignments. (Leave no cells blank- be certain to enter "O" wherever required.)
