Abstract: The assignment model of linear programming is here extended to allow for vector optimizations and dynamic interactions between assigned personnel and positions in each of which a variety of possible measures and approaches are explored. Formulations involving people-to-people as well as people-to-position matchings are also examined from the standpoint of organizations in which jobs may be fitted to people or vice versa as well as in weighted combinations. Possible uses of such models for dealing with the problems of placing disadvantsged or handicapped persons are noted, but the analysis stops short of the still further possibilities offered by new types of machine-technology and information systems designs.
