An Application of Assignment Problem in Agriculture Using R
Journal Title: Journal of Scientific Research and Reports - Year 2017, Vol 13, Issue 2
Abstract
In practical situations, sometimes we are faced with different type of problems which consists of relationships such as labors to fields, fertilizers to fields, jobs to machines, men to offices etc. where assignees possess varying degree of efficiency, called as cost or effectiveness. Such types of problems are solved using assignment techniques. There are different methods for solving the assignment problems but among these the Hungarian method provides us an efficient procedure for finding out optimal solution of an assignment problem. This paper is concerned with the special class of allocation problems, where the objective is to find optimal assignment of the number of paddocks to the number of crops used. The optimal allocation is found using R- software.
