Abstract:
The assignment model is a particular application of linear programming problems where tasks are assigned to agents with the goal of either maximization of profit or minimization of cost (in terms of both money and time) with provided deterministic data. But in real-life cases, more than one attribute may occur. Also, all these attributes need not be deterministic; some attributes may be stochastic in nature. The existing assignment model cannot handle these types of issues. To overcome these drawbacks, the study proposes the integrated extended assignment model with stochastic theory and the data envelopment analysis (DEA) technique. To illustrate the suggested concept, a numerical example is provided.
