How to use this tool

  1. Enter groups, stations, activities, activity minutes, changeover.
  2. Use consistent units shown beside each input. Run the calculation and review the assumptions below.

Try this example

{
  "groups": 8,
  "stations": 4,
  "activities": 3,
  "activity_minutes": 12,
  "changeover": 2
}

Accuracy and scope

Each group completes the same number of activities; stations interchangeable and waves sequential. No conflict-resolving timetable generated.
