How do I optimaly distibute a number (whole values) into a range
I have a number of staff (say 25) that I want to optimally distibute amongst
14 workstations. Each workstation will have a set percentage of the overall workload therefor each workstations set workload might range from 1.3% to 14.8% for example. I can have between 0 to 4 people at any station depending on work load. How can I OPTIMALLY distribute ALL 25 of my staff (whole numbers only) into these workstations and steer clear of decimalizing. I cannot place 2.23 workers in a work station |

Say the 14 machines were represented by 14 columns. Sequentially starti
adding staff to the columns using the following strategy: Starting with the person generating the greatest load, add the people to the machine having the least current load. Each of the first 14 people will get a machine to themselves, the 15th person gets assigned to the machine least loaded, and so on. -- Gary's Student "Kevin O" wrote: I have a number of staff (say 25) that I want to optimally distibute amongst 14 workstations.
