Abstract
In this thesis we focus on a decision model for a real world problem. The problem reveals itself as assignment of vehicles to routes by Latex Foam Rubber Products Limited-Kumasi.
This study addresses the problem of finding efficient assignments of the limited number of trucks at the company’s disposal to the routes they ply while serving the company’s customers outside the metropolis. The thesis seeks to minimize the total number of gallons of fuel needed for the assignments using the Munkres Assignment algorithm, a modified form of Kuhn’s Hungarian algorithm.
