Iteration 1 Summary
Business Context: A shipping company aims to minimize the total operational cost of its fleet by optimally assigning captains to ships, considering factors such as captain rank, ship type, and ship age. The optimization model ensures that each ship is assigned exactly one captain and each captain is assigned to at most one ship, while respecting compatibility and age constraints.
Optimization Problem: Minimize the total cost of assigning captains to ships, where the cost depends on the captain's rank and the ship's type and age. The assignment must respect constraints such as each ship being assigned exactly one captain, each captain being assigned to at most one ship, and ensuring compatibility and age rules are satisfied.
Objective: minimize ∑(cost_coefficient[c][s] × assign[c][s]) where cost_coefficient[c][s] is the cost of assigning captain c to ship s, and assign[c][s] is a binary decision variable indicating whether captain c is assigned to ship s.
