摘要
This paper presents a transportation branch and bound algorithm for solving the generalized assignment problem. This is a branch and bound technique in which the sub-problems are solved by the available efficient transportation techniques rather than the usual simplex based approaches. A technique for selecting branching variables that minimize the number of sub-problems is also presented. © 2015, The Society for Reliability Engineering, Quality and Operations Management (SREQOM), India and The Division of Operation and Maintenance, Lulea University of Technology, Sweden.
