Abstract	This paper presents a transportation branch and bound algorithm for solving the generalized assignment problem. This is a branch and bound technique in which the sub-problems are solved by the available efficient transportation techniques rather than the usual simplex based approaches. A technique for selecting branching variables that minimize the number of sub-problems is also presented.
