A marketing research firm has received requests from 3 new clients. It has 3 people available to lead these projects: Yareli, Joanne and Lin.  The following table gives the estimated project completion times  in days for each client/worker combination:

Decision variables Client Objective function: Project 1 manager Yareli 10 Joanne 9 Lin 6 Constraints 2 15 18 14 3 555 The three projects have approximately the same priority, and each project leader is assigned to one and only one project. Each project needs one and only one leader. How should the project managers be assigned to minimize total completion time? 9 This is similar to the transportation problem. The difference here is that the 'supply' is the number of project leaders each individual can provide. Each person can provide 1 project leader. Each client requires 1 and only 1 project leader. You can think of the amount "shipped' as 1 project manager or 0 project managers, depending on whether or not the person works for a particular client. Use dimensional analysis as usual. Diagram 3 Put your linear program into solver and solve it. State which project manager will work for which client, and what the total hours worked will be.
