MODEL:
 ! The Department to Location Facility Assignment Problem(Dept2Locn);
 ! Given: 1) A set of Departments and a matrix of traffic between departments,						
          2) A set of Locations and a matrix of distances betweeen locations,						
  Assign Departments to Locations, at most one department per location,						
  so as to minimize total traffic*distance cost of the assignment.
  The "Departments" might be flights at at airport,
  The "Traffic" might be transfers between flights,
  The "Locations" might be gates at the terminal.
