The assignment problem is a specialized transportation model that involves assigning tasks to resources to minimize costs or time, with each task and resource being limited to one assignment. It can be balanced or unbalanced, depending on whether the number of tasks equals the number of resources. The Hungarian method is a key algorithm for solving these problems, involving steps to reduce costs and identify optimal assignments.
