What Is a Distribution Model?

The allocation model, also known as the "assignment model", refers to a mathematical model of such a problem in management: there are various resources that will be assigned to various uses in order to find an optimal allocation scheme. Generally speaking, it is required to make the most economical use of limited resources and obtain the greatest economic effect. The resources here can be manpower, materials, workpieces, equipment, etc .; the uses can be standby equipment, work to be completed, workpieces to be processed, etc. A characteristic of the rational use of such resources is that there is a one-to-one correspondence between resources and uses, that is, after a certain resource is allocated to a certain use, this resource cannot be allocated to other uses. Similarly, this This use can no longer occupy other resources. The modeling conditions of the distribution model are: There are n jobs assigned to n people to complete, one person assigns only one job, and one job is performed by one person. ^[1]
