The Household Bottleneck

Schedule household jobs around shared equipment, dependencies and available people to reveal the main bottleneck.

Jobs to schedule

Rows are numbered from 1. Use comma-separated job numbers for dependencies. A resource handles one job at a time. For automatic steps, add setup and removal as separate hands-on jobs when needed.

Hands-on jobs occupy one person and their resource. Automatic jobs occupy only the named resource; use this only for steps that can safely run on their own. This is a practical schedule estimate. Your entries stay in this browser.
