Assigning (m) Workers to (N) machines under Noise Constraint SE 303 Lab

Technical Background Noise Condition Hearing ability of human can be affected by the exposure time (T) to a certain Sound Pressure Level (SPL) – SPL is measured in db – T is measured in hours

Technical Background As a recommendation T should not exceed

Check the distributed Example

Objective Function Objective is to find a feasible solution However, it could be to minimize the maximum amount of noise dose a worker can have. This objective can be seen as fairness in distributing noise dose
