[Solved] C# how to add object to a list which has list of object

Question

This looks like a very complex problem for me. Its for sure a optimization problem with many constraints, so i hope you are good at math ;-).

I would suggest to have a look at the Simplex Algorithm which will work very well for your problem if you have the mathematical know how to use it. There are some variations of the simplex too which maybe also work well.

There is an other way too where you just use the power of your computer to solve the problem. You could write a function which rates a solution and gives you some kind of benchmarkscore.
For instance you can rate the hour difference of provided and needed like every hour which is smaller then the needed is a -2, every hour which is bigger then needed is -1. So you can get a score to an employee assignment.

with this function you can start to randomly assign employees to departments (of course accourding to the min/max employees for each department) and then rate this solution using your function. so you can find a solution with a good score (if your defined function works well)

most of random assignments will be stupid of course but your computer generates million of solutions in seconds so chances are good that it will generate a good one after some time (dont think time is a big critera here cause once you have a solution it wont change very often)
