Role of the Assignment Problem in Resource Optimization: A Case Study of a Clothing manufacturing company

Mathematics, particularly optimization techniques, plays a crucial role in management, helping to allocate resources efficiently. This paper explores the use of the Assignment Problem in operations management, where products or tasks must be assigned to resources such as workers, machines, or locations. Through a case study of a clothing manufacturing company, we demonstrate how the Assignment Problem can optimize production assignments for different machines to minimize overall production costs. The Hungarian algorithm is applied to solve the problem.
