Allocative personnel's problem

A company has reserved 5 candidates to occupy 4 work jobs. The work jobs consist in driving 4 different hardwares (one worker for each hardware). The company tested the 5 workers at the 4 machines, doing the same work every worker at every machine, Obtaining the following times:

  Machine1 Machine2 Machine3 Machine4
Candidate1 10 6 6 5
Candidate2 8 7 6 6
Candidate3 8 6 5 6
Candidate4 9 7 7 6
Candidate5 8 7 6 5

Determining wich candidates must choose the company and to wich machine must be assigned.

 

Determining decision variables and expressing them algebraically. In this case:

Determining the restrictions and expressing them as equations or inequalities in function of the decision variables.

Expressing all implicit conditions established by the origin of variables: negativeness, integer, only a few allowed values... . In this case, the restrictions are that workpeople's assignments to hardware must be booleans (0 not assigned, 1 yes), and so, can't be negatives:

Determining objective function:
