## 4. Mathematical Optimization Formulation

#### Decision Variables
- Let \( x_{ij} \) be a binary decision variable where \( x_{ij} = 1 \) if technician \( i \) is assigned to repair machine \( j \), and \( x_{ij} = 0 \) otherwise.

#### Objective Function
- Minimize the total value points of machines assigned to technicians:
  \[
  \text{Minimize } \sum_{j} \sum_{i} \text{value\_points}_j \times x_{ij}
  \]
  where \(\text{value\_points}_j\) is the value points of machine \( j \) from the `machine` table.

#### Constraints
1. **Each repair must be assigned to exactly one technician:**
   \[
   \sum_{i} x_{ij} = 1 \quad \forall j
   \]
   This ensures that each machine repair is assigned to exactly one technician.

2. **Technician capacity constraints:**
   \[
   \sum_{j} x_{ij} \leq \text{max\_repairs}_i \quad \forall i
   \]
   where \(\text{max\_repairs}_i\) is the maximum number of repairs technician \( i \) can handle from the `constraint_bounds` table.

3. **Binary constraints for decision variables:**
   \[
   x_{ij} \in \{0, 1\} \quad \forall i, j
   \]

Data Source Verification:
- **Objective Function Coefficients:** \(\text{value\_points}_j\) are sourced from `machine.value_points`.
- **Technician Capacity Constraints:** \(\text{max\_repairs}_i\) are sourced from `constraint_bounds.max_repairs`.

This formulation provides a complete and immediately solvable linear optimization model, ensuring that all machine repairs are assigned efficiently while respecting technician capacity constraints.
