'Distance' between any pair of locations is index of cost of transporting unit of material between locations; `traffic intensity' is rate at which units of material are transferred between given pair of facilities in both directions; optimal assignment is one in which sum of product of distance times traffic intensity for all pairs of facility-location assignments is minimum; branch-and-bound technique with modifications is used to give optimal assignment.
