We have studied an assignment problem with which the quantities of workers and projects are different. Every project is assigned to a worker. We put forward that this problem should be considered as a problem of multiple objective decision making. The difference of each pair of workers' project quantities should be more than 1. This is the first objective. Certainly, the cost must be minimal. It is the second objective. We have given a method to solve this problem in this paper.
