Can mathematical modelling help the manager to solve the problem of work assignment?
Yes, to the extent that his/her model helps identify an efficient work sequence or allocation of resources. In general, workers are not interchangeable. The general management problem is to find an assignment of work to each individual that respects their preferences and their talents and meets the needs of the company. It is possible this can be modeled mathematically, but it is more likely that intuition and discussion with workers are involved.
