Look inside

Maximize productivity with maximum flow algorithms and some basic C# programming. You play the role of a nuclear power plant operations manager. Your challenge is to assign jobs to your group of employees, and your goal is to achieve maximum productivity. You’ll build a program that generates networks for testing maximal flow algorithms, as well as a program that finds maximal flows through a network of capabilities. Then, you’ll put your maximal flow program to work to match employees with jobs while ensuring that as many jobs as possible are completed.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
