The assignment problem in the general form can be stated as follows: “Given n facilities, n jobs and the effectiveness of each facility for each job, the problem is to assign each facility to one and only one job in such a way that the measure of effectiveness is optimised (Maximised or Minimised).”
Transportation problem deals with the optimal distribution of goods or resources from multiple sources to multiple destinations, whereas assignment problem deals with allocating tasks, jobs, or resources one-to-one.
