In literature, many assignment problems are de*ned and studied. In this paper, we present a new multi-criteria assignment problem. The new problem has characteristics from the well known Bin Packing Problem (BPP) and Generalized Assignment Problem (GAP). The new problem will be called generalized assignment problem with identified *rst-used bins (GAPIFB). Similarities and differences between the BPP and GAP problems and our problem are discussed. The new GAPIFB problem will be presented as linear integer problem and will be integrated in decisionmaking tool.
