In a job shop operations, four jobs may be performed on any of four machines. The hours required for each job on each machine are presented in the following table. The plant supervisor would like to assign jobs so that total time is minimized. MACHINE Job w x y z A 10 14 16 13 B 12 13 15 12 C 9 12 12 11 D 14 16 18 16 A. Find the best solution (Using the Hungarian Method). Which assignments should be made? What cost? B. Formulate this problem as a linear program. You do not need to solve it.

A manufacturing company has four machines and four jobs to be completed. Each machine must be assigned to complete one job. The time required to set up each machine for completing each job is shown in the table below. The company wants to minimize the total setup time needed to complete the four jobs. Use linear programming (show the standard form model) to solve this problem. Job Machine Setup Times (Hours) Job Machine 1 2 3 4 1 14 5 8 5 2 2 12 6 9 3 7 8 5 9 4 2 4 7 5
