The assignment problem in Operations Research is a specific type of optimization problem where the goal is to assign a set of resources (e.g., workers, machines, or tasks) to a set of tasks in such a way that each resource is assigned to exactly one task, and each task is assigned to exactly one resource. The objective is typically to minimize the total cost associated with the assignments or to maximize the total profit.
