To successfully set up the booth in Question 2, the marketing team is required to assign the tasks to staff so that the activities can be done in the time given. Assuming:
the team has only 5 staff and
each of them can handle at most 2 tasks and
they can only handle one task after another, but not simultaneously.
Formulate and solve the model to determine how the tasks are to be assigned to staff so that the booth can be ready in the time mentioned in Question 2(b). To answer this question, you have advised the team to consider all possible staff-activity assignments and estimate the corresponding completion times.
