Total supply must equal to total demand in the transportation problem,but
each supply and demand value is 1 in the assignment problem.
In transportation It is not necessary square matrix. but in assignment it is necessary to have square matrix.
model sum
you learn linear programming before you learn the transportation problem.
A special case of the transportation problem in a linear program, in which the number of sources (assignees) equals the number of designations (assignments) and each supply and each demand equals 1
A constraint is a limitation that is visible and present. The difference between a constraint and risk is that a risk is problem that is not yet seen, or a potential problem.
An assignment may give you problems if you do not understand what the assignment asks you to do. An assignment without full instructions will put you at a disadvantage to complete.
Politics and semantics
A problem is what exists when there is a difference between the current situation and the desired one.
its a problem when you loose your shoe. its a hazard to ride your bike in the street.

In operations management, assignment method is the algorithm which can be used to assign jobs to various machines available. Hence the method is a specific type of transportation problem. usually this method takes care of N/N assignment situations i.e. N machines which can do N jobs. In most of the cases, the objective of the method would be to minimize costs, or maximize profits. The underlying logic of this method is to minimize total opportunity cost of assignment for the system.
Perhaps the difference lies in the distinct meaning or the words in question. For the problem statement, state the problem. For the mission statement, state your mission, or how you will address the problem.
