ABSTRACT: In this paper, a balanced assignment methodology is
proposed in case of entity with more than 2 attributes. The Mahalanobis
distance is a basic idea of MTS method as a distance indicator considering the
correlation of entities in quality control techniques. This can be applied to
ensure the balanced assignment, and utilized the Signal to Noise Ratio as a
measure of classifying large groups with entities into many subgroups. In order
to analyze the balanced assignment, the simulation is performed for a given
example. Validations against simulation data establish the effectiveness of
this approach.
