NuEdge has 5 app developers to work on 8 current projects. Based on qualifications and prior experience, a subjective "suitability/quality index" has been developed for each developer for each app (on a scale of 100). Also shown is the estimated time (hours) to develop each app. Parameters Suitability/quality scores of each developer by App (n/a implies developer has never worked on that type of App, so should not be assigned to that App) Apps Designer 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 A 90 80 25 50 75 100 85 35 B 60 70 50 65 50 50 65 n/a C 70 40 80 85 n/a 75 35 90 D 30 50 70 90 80 60 40 20 E 65 65 60 75 35 40 100 55 Time Reqd (hours) 70 50 85 35 10 50 100 60 Scenario A: Assume 1 developer is assigned to exactly 1 App (Formulation of LP 5 points, Assignment 3 points, Quality score 2 points, Developer Hours 2 points) What is the recommended assignment of developers to Apps that will maximize the "aggregate" suitability/quality? What Apps get cancelled/postponed? What is the total Quality score for this assignment? What is the aggregate number of hours of developer time? Decision Variables Objective Function Scenario B: Multiple developers can work on the same App (Formulation 3 points, New Assignment 3 points, New Quality Score 2 points) Assuming each developer has 100 hours of available time, how would you assign developer hours to App development to maximize Quality Score? Decision Variables Objective Function
