Each work center has a single operator; however, the company's operators have different skill levels, resulting in different levels of daily output and product quality. The following tables show the average daily output and average number of defects per day for each of the company's five operators who are capable of producing the aircraft part:

The company wants to determine which operator to assign to each machine to maximize daily output and keep the percentage of defects to less than 4%.
