Questions and Answers

What is the main purpose of opportunity costs in assignment methods?

  • To ignore the cost implications of assignments
  • To minimize the total time required for completing jobs
  • To maximize the total cost of assignments
  • To indicate the relative penalties of assigning individuals to projects (correct)

    • In the assignment method steps, what does it mean if the optimal solution is available among the covered zeros?

  • The maximum opportunity cost is achieved
  • The minimum number of lines is equal to the matrix (correct)
  • The time required for completing jobs is maximized
  • The minimum time is required for each job

    • What is the next step if the number of lines does not equal the matrix in the assignment method?

  • Proceed to find the minimum of each row and column again
  • Restart the assignment from step 1
  • Subtract the maximum value from all uncovered values
  • Find the minimum uncovered value, subtract it from all uncovered values, and add it to the corner points (correct)
