The traditional bipartite weighted matching problem is to maximize the largest possible sum of weights. In this paper, we define a bipartite matching problem which maximizes the largest possible product of weights and develop an algorithm to solve it. Although this problem corresponds to a non-linear program, we show this problem can be easily solved by modifying the Hungarian method. Finally, we present an application of this problem.
