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.
