- Show your step-by-step process using the SPECIAL PURPOSE LINEAR PROGRAMMING: ASSIGNMENT METHOD to solve this problem. Four Engineers are to work on 4 projects of Dora Company. The problem is to decide which engineer should be assigned to which project. Each engineer charges different fees on each project, due to distances of the projects and the complexity of the work. The cost of assigning particular engineers to particular projects are as stated below. The objective is to find the lease cost of assignment. Engineer 1 to Projects A, B, C, D = $11k, $8k, $10k, $7k respectively.Engineer 2 to Projects A, B, C, D = $6k, $5k, $3k, $8k respectively.Engineer 3 to Projects A, B, C, D = $4k, $8k, $10k, $9k respectively.Engineer 4 to Projects A, B, C, D = $11k, $10k, $5k, $7k respectively.arrow_forwardAssignment Model The quantitative methods department head at a major midwestern university will be scheduling faculty to teach courses during the coming autumn term.
