[ { "task_name": "FSP", "problem_type": "FSP", "instruction": "Back at the bakery, the crew has a row of fixed stations and a few batches that all need the same ordered steps, each step having a predictable duration.

The specific boards and step durations follow below.\n\nThere are 8 boards and 3 workstations; the boards are J1, J2, J3, J4, J5, J6, J7, J8 and the workstations are A, B, C.\nBoard J1, step 0 requires workstation A for 1 time units.\nBoard J1, step 1 requires workstation B for 6 time units.\nBoard J1, step 2 requires workstation C for 76 time units.\nBoard J2, step 0 requires workstation A for 10 time units.\nBoard J2, step 1 requires workstation B for 51 time units.\nBoard J2, step 2 requires workstation C for 8 time units.\nBoard J3, step 0 requires workstation A for 17 time units.\nBoard J3, step 1 requires workstation B for 23 time units.\nBoard J3, step 2 requires workstation C for 25 time units.\nBoard J4, step 0 requires workstation A for 99 time units.\nBoard J4, step 1 requires workstation B for 64 time units.\nBoard J4, step 2 requires workstation C for 89 time units.\nBoard J5, step 0 requires workstation A for 23 time units.\nBoard J5, step 1 requires workstation B for 59 time units.\nBoard J5, step 2 requires workstation C for 46 time units.\nBoard J6, step 0 requires workstation A for 37 time units.\nBoard J6, step 1 requires workstation B for 87 time units.\nBoard J6, step 2 requires workstation C for 36 time units.\nBoard J7, step 0 requires workstation A for 64 time units.\nBoard J7, step 1 requires workstation B for 8 time units.\nBoard J7, step 2 requires workstation C for 21 time units.\nBoard J8, step 0 requires workstation A for 59 time units.\nBoard J8, step 1 requires workstation B for 10 time units.\nBoard J8, step 2 requires workstation C for 80 time units.\nRecord each step below so the supervisor can preserve sequences and determine the batch completion time.\n\nIf you prefer to hand the plan over in a tidy format, a small JSON shape like this is perfect — nothing fancy, just the fields I need to read the schedule.\n\n{\n \"solution\": [\n {\n \"job\": ,\n \"tasks\": [\n {\n \"task\": ,\n \"start\": ,\n \"machine\": ,\n \"duration\": \n }\n ]\n }\n ]\n}\n\nThink of it as a simple form: \"solution\" holds a list of boards (jobs), each board gets a job identifier in \"job\", and a \"tasks\" list with each step's index, its planned start time, which machine it runs on, and how long it takes. It's just a sketch of the shape I expect — not the real schedule yet.\n\nPlease be sure to use the exact identifiers from the instance input — don't rename them or invent new ones. Valid identifiers look like plain numbers such as \"1\" or \"23\", single capital letters like \"A\" or \"B\", or a capital letter followed by digits like \"A1\" or \"X7\".", "instance": {

A good plan is one where the whole batch is done as early as possible — measured by the clock time when the last sample finishes — so the later that final finish time is, the worse the plan. The concrete details are shown below.\n\nBelow I list the 6 samples and the 3 instruments: sample ids J1, J2, J3, J4, J5, J6 and instrument order A, B, C.\nI must schedule sample J1 step 0 on instrument A for 1.\nI must schedule sample J1 step 1 on instrument B for 58.\nI must schedule sample J1 step 2 on instrument C for 78.\nI must schedule sample J2 step 0 on instrument A for 93.\nI must schedule sample J2 step 1 on instrument B for 64.\nI must schedule sample J2 step 2 on instrument C for 94.\nI must schedule sample J3 step 0 on instrument A for 35.\nI must schedule sample J3 step 1 on instrument B for 94.\nI must schedule sample J3 step 2 on instrument C for 96.\nI must schedule sample J4 step 0 on instrument A for 73.\nI must schedule sample J4 step 1 on instrument B for 18.\nI must schedule sample J4 step 2 on instrument C for 97.\nI must schedule sample J5 step 0 on instrument A for 55.\nI must schedule sample J5 step 1 on instrument B for 73.\nI must schedule sample J5 step 2 on instrument C for 67.\nI must schedule sample J6 step 0 on instrument A for 49.\nI must schedule sample J6 step 1 on instrument B for 56.\nI must schedule sample J6 step 2 on instrument C for 39.\nI'll use these details to assign start times so the batch finishes as early as possible.\n\nAlso, when you send the schedule back, just use this simple JSON layout so everything lines up nicely:\n\n{\n \"solution\": [\n {\n \"job\": ,\n \"tasks\": [\n {\n \"task\": ,\n \"start\": ,\n \"machine\": ,\n \"duration\": \n }\n ]\n }\n ]\n}\n\nThink of that like a little form: \"solution\" is the list of jobs, each job entry names the job and then lists its tasks; for each task you give the task index, the start time, which machine it runs on, and how long it takes.

must pass through a fixed lineup of packing stations, each station taking a known amount of time per parcel. The challenge is picking when to start each parcel at each station so no station overlaps work on two parcels, and every parcel still visits every station in order. Which plan is better is judged by the clock — whoever finishes the last parcel earlier wins, and that finishing time is the number we care about. The specific parcel list and station times are shown below.\n\nThey are listed here for 8 parcels and 5 stations: parcel identifiers are J1, J2, J3, J4, J5, J6, J7, J8 and the stations in processing order are A, B, C, D, E.\nParcel J1, step 0, goes to station A and requires 1 time units.\nParcel J1, step 1, goes to station B and requires 24 time units.\nParcel J1, step 2, goes to station C and requires 56 time units.\nParcel J1, step 3, goes to station D and requires 23 time units.\nParcel J1, step 4, goes to station E and requires 30 time units.\nParcel J2, step 0, goes to station A and requires 5 time units.\nParcel J2, step 1, goes to station B and requires 59 time units.\nParcel J2, step 2, goes to station C and requires 34 time units.\nParcel J2, step 3, goes to station D and requires 36 time units.\nParcel J2, step 4, goes to station E and requires 41 time units.\nParcel J3, step 0, goes to station A and requires 10 time units.\nParcel J3, step 1, goes to station B and requires 57 time units.\nParcel J3, step 2, goes to station C and requires 70 time units.\nParcel J3, step 3, goes to station D and requires 90 time units.\nParcel J3, step 4, goes to station E and requires 94 time units.\nParcel J4, step 0, goes to station A and requires 14 time units.\nParcel J4, step 1, goes to station B and requires 91 time units.\nParcel J4, step 2, goes to station C and requires 42 time units.\nParcel J4, step 3, goes to station D and requires 9 time units.\nParcel J4, step 4, goes to station E and requires 67 time units.\nParcel J5, step 0, goes to station A and requires 96 time units.\nParcel J5, step 1, goes to station B and requires 77 time units.\nParcel J5, step 2, goes to station C and requires 39 time units.\nParcel J5, step 3, goes to station D and requires 18 time units.\nParcel J5, step 4, goes to station E and requires 54 time units.\nParcel J6, step 0, goes to station A and requires 98 time units.\nParcel J6, step 1, goes to station B and requires 6 time units.\nParcel J6, step 2, goes to station C and requires 96 time units.\nParcel J6, step 3, goes to station D and requires 88 time units.\nParcel J6, step 4, goes to station E and requires 56 time units.\nParcel J7, step 0, goes to station A and requires 7 time units.\nParcel J7, step 1, goes to station B and requires 92 time units.\nParcel J7, step 2, goes to station C and requires 44 time units.\nParcel J7, step 3, goes to station D and requires 61 time units.\nParcel J7, step 4, goes to station E and requires 48 time units.\nParcel J8, step 0, goes to station A and requires 6 time units.\nParcel J8, step 1, goes to station B and requires 79 time units.\nParcel J8, step 2, goes to station C and requires 60 time units.\nParcel J8, step 3, goes to station D and requires 51 time units.\nParcel J8, step 4, goes to station E and requires 10 time units.\nThese task records enumerate each parcel's ordered station step and its processing time.\n\nAlso, when you share a packing plan, a simple JSON layout like this works best — just fill in the actual ids and numbers for each parcel and step:\n\n{\n \"solution\": [\n {\n \"job\": ,\n \"tasks\": [\n {\n \"task\": ,\n \"start\": ,\n \"machine\": ,\n \"duration\": \n }\n ]\n }\n ]\n}\n\nThink of it like a little form: \"solution\" is the list of parcels, each parcel has a \"job\" id and a list of \"tasks\". Each task is one station visit — \"task\" is which step it is in the sequence, \"start\" is when that parcel begins at that station, \"machine\" is which station it uses, and \"duration\" is how long that station takes for that parcel. Easy, informal, and just a sketch of the shape I need — not the actual filled-in schedule.\n\nPlease make sure to use the exact identifiers from the instance input — don't rename them or invent new labels.

The manager needs to decide who goes when so that each chair and station isn’t expected to handle two clients at the same minute, and every client gets each service once in the right order. The measure of success is how early the whole batch is done: look at the clock when the last client’s styling is finished — the sooner that time, the better. The concrete times and details follow below.\n\nThere are 7 clients and 3 stations; client IDs: J1, J2, J3, J4, J5, J6, J7; station IDs: A, B, C.\n\n| client_id | service_step | station_id | service_duration_minutes |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| J1 | 0 | A | 1 |\n| J1 | 1 | B | 76 |\n| J1 | 2 | C | 58 |\n| J2 | 0 | A | 6 |\n| J2 | 1 | B | 43 |\n| J2 | 2 | C | 91 |\n| J3 | 0 | A | 77 |\n| J3 | 1 | B | 6 |\n| J3 | 2 | C | 8 |\n| J4 | 0 | A | 15 |\n| J4 | 1 | B | 63 |\n| J4 | 2 | C | 64 |\n| J5 | 0 | A | 3 |\n| J5 | 1 | B | 4 |\n| J5 | 2 | C | 16 |\n| J6 | 0 | A | 25 |\n| J6 | 1 | B | 60 |\n| J6 | 2 | C | 45 |\n| J7 | 0 | A | 62 |\n| J7 | 1 | B | 94 |\n| J7 | 2 | C | 63 |\n\nWe must schedule so no station is double-booked and the batch finishes as early as possible.\n\nOh, and when you send the schedule back, please follow this JSON layout so it's easy to read and parse:\n\n{\n \"solution\": [\n {\n \"job\": ,\n \"tasks\": [\n {\n \"task\": ,\n \"start\": ,\n \"machine\": ,\n \"duration\": \n }\n ]\n }\n ]\n}\n\nThis is just a simple form: each top-level entry is a client (job), and under each client there's a list of their services (tasks). For each task we note which chair/station it uses (machine), when that service starts (start), how long it takes (duration), and the task index to keep the order clear. Think of it like filling out one little card per client with a timeline of their three stops. This block is only a sketch of the shape I need — not the final schedule itself.\n\nPlease make sure you use the exact identifiers from the instance input — do not rename them or invent new labels.

the same order — check-in, sample, then diagnostics — and the receptionist spaces their slots so those stops don’t overlap on the same equipment. Every step has a set duration, and a device can’t handle two patients at once. What makes one spacing better than another is how early the entire group is done: the best plan is the one that makes the finish time of the last patient as early as possible. No steps can be skipped or repeated, and the detailed timings are shown below.\n\nBelow are the detailed timings for the 7 patients and the 3 stations, listed by patient ids J1, J2, J3, J4, J5, J6, J7 and station ids A, B, C.\nPatient J1 has step 0 at station A lasting 1.\nPatient J1 has step 1 at station B lasting 16.\nPatient J1 has step 2 at station C lasting 84.\nPatient J2 has step 0 at station A lasting 44.\nPatient J2 has step 1 at station B lasting 4.\nPatient J2 has step 2 at station C lasting 57.\nPatient J3 has step 0 at station A lasting 91.\nPatient J3 has step 1 at station B lasting 9.\nPatient J3 has step 2 at station C lasting 12.\nPatient J4 has step 0 at station A lasting 95.\nPatient J4 has step 1 at station B lasting 77.\nPatient J4 has step 2 at station C lasting 21.\nPatient J5 has step 0 at station A lasting 52.\nPatient J5 has step 1 at station B lasting 15.\nPatient J5 has step 2 at station C lasting 32.\nPatient J6 has step 0 at station A lasting 84.\nPatient J6 has step 1 at station B lasting 61.\nPatient J6 has step 2 at station C lasting 48.\nPatient J7 has step 0 at station A lasting 77.\nPatient J7 has step 1 at station B lasting 15.\nPatient J7 has step 2 at station C lasting 88.\nThe receptionist will use these timings to space slots so no station handles two patients at once and the goal is to finish the last patient as early as possible.\n\nIf you'd like the schedule in a machine-friendly form, I usually return it in this little JSON shape:\n\n{\n \"solution\": [\n {\n \"job\": ,\n \"tasks\": [\n {\n \"task\": ,\n \"start\": ,\n \"machine\": ,\n \"duration\": \n }\n ]\n }\n ]\n}\n\nThink of that like a simple form: \"solution\" is the whole plan; inside it there's one entry per patient (job). Each patient entry names the job and then lists their tasks in order. Each task line just says which step number it is, when it starts, which device it uses, and how long it takes.

For each task we want the task index (which step it is), the start time when that step begins, the machine it's done on, and how long it takes. Easy to read, like filling out a little schedule card.\n\nThis is just a sketch of the shape I expect — please return the actual schedule following this layout.\n\nPlease also make sure to use the exact identifiers shown in the instance input — don't rename them or invent new labels. Valid identifiers look like plain numbers such as “1” or “23”, single capital letters like “A” or “B”, or a capital letter followed by digits like “A1” or “X7”.", "instance": { "nr_machines": 3, "nr_jobs": 6, "jobs": [ [ [ 0, 1 ], [ 1, 42 ], [ 2, 36 ] ], [ [ 0, 36 ], [ 1, 10 ], [ 2, 2 ] ], [ [ 0, 2 ], [ 1, 45 ], [ 2, 48 ] ], [ [ 0, 82 ], [ 1, 54 ], [ 2, 25 ] ], [ [ 0, 18 ], [ 1, 22 ], [ 2, 42 ] ], [ [ 0, 90 ], [ 1, 95 ], [ 2, 49 ] ] ] }, "solution": [ { "job": 0, "tasks": [ { "task": 0, "start": 0, "machine": 0, "duration": 1 }, { "task": 1, "start": 1, "machine": 1, "duration": 42 }, { "task": 2, "start": 43, "machine": 2, "duration": 36 } ] }, { "job": 1, "tasks": [ { "task": 0, "start": 193, "machine": 0, "duration": 36 }, { "task": 1, "start": 260, "machine": 1, "duration": 10 }, { "task": 2, "start": 285, "machine": 2, "duration": 2 } ] }, { "job": 2, "tasks": [ { "task": 0, "start": 19, "machine": 0, "duration": 2 }, { "task": 1, "start": 43, "machine": 1, "duration": 45 }, { "task": 2, "start": 88, "machine": 2, "duration": 48 } ] }, { "job": 3, "tasks": [ { "task": 0, "start": 111, "machine": 0, "duration": 82 }, { "task": 1, "start": 206, "machine": 1, "duration": 54 }, { "task": 2, "start": 260, "machine": 2, "duration": 25 } ] }, { "job": 4, "tasks": [ { "task": 0, "start": 1, "machine": 0, "duration": 18 }, { "task": 1, "start": 88, "machine": 1, "duration": 22 }, { "task": 2, "start": 136, "machine": 2, "duration": 42 } ] }, { "job": 5, "tasks": [ { "task": 0, "start": 21, "machine": 0, "duration": 90 }, { "task": 1, "start": 111, "machine": 1, "duration": 95 }, { "task": 2, "start": 206, "machine": 2, "duration": 49 } ] } ], "obj": 287.0, "instance_variant": { "problem_type": "FSP", "nr_jobs": 6, "nr_machines": 3, "jobs": [ "J1", "J2", "J3", "J4", "J5", "J6" ], "machines": [ 0, 1, 2 ], "records": [ { "job_id": "J1", "task_id": 0, "machine_id": 0, "duration": 1 }, { "job_id": "J1", "task_id": 1, "machine_id": 1, "duration": 42 }, { "job_id": "J1", "task_id": 2, "machine_id": 2, "duration": 36 }, { "job_id": "J2", "task_id": 0, "machine_id": 0, "duration": 36 }, { "job_id": "J2", "task_id": 1, "machine_id": 1, "duration": 10 }, { "job_id": "J2", "task_id": 2, "machine_id": 2, "duration": 2 }, { "job_id": "J3", "task_id": 0, "machine_id": 0, "duration": 2 }, { "job_id": "J3", "task_id": 1, "machine_id": 1, "duration": 45 }, { "job_id": "J3", "task_id": 2, "machine_id": 2, "duration": 48 }, { "job_id": "J4", "task_id": 0, "machine_id": 0, "duration": 82 }, { "job_id": "J4", "task_id": 1, "machine_id": 1, "duration": 54 }, { "job_id": "J4", "task_id": 2, "machine_id": 2, "duration": 25 }, { "job_id": "J5", "task_id": 0, "machine_id": 0, "duration": 18 }, { "job_id": "J5", "task_id": 1, "machine_id": 1, "duration": 22 }, { "job_id": "J5", "task_id": 2, "machine_id": 2, "duration": 42 }, { "job_id": "J6", "task_id": 0, "machine_id": 0, "duration": 90 }, { "job_id": "J6", "task_id": 1, "machine_id": 1, "duration": 95 }, { "job_id": "J6", "task_id": 2, "machine_id": 2, "duration": 49 } ] }, "solution_variant": [ { "job": "J1", "tasks": [ { "task": 0, "start": 0, "machine": 0, "duration": 1 }, { "task": 1, "start": 1, "machine": 1, "duration": 42 }, { "task": 2, "start": 43, "machine": 2, "duration": 36 } ] }, { "job": "J2", "tasks": [ { "task": 0, "start": 193, "machine": 0, "duration": 36 }, { "task": 1, "start": 260, "machine": 1, "duration": 10 }, { "task": 2, "start": 285, "machine": 2, "duration": 2 } ] }, { "job": "J3", "tasks": [ { "task": 0, "start": 19, "machine": 0, "duration": 2 }, { "task": 1, "start": 43, "machine": 1, "duration": 45 }, { "task": 2, "start": 88, "machine": 2, "duration": 48 } ] }, { "job": "J4", "tasks": [ { "task": 0, "start": 111, "machine": 0, "duration": 82 }, { "task": 1, "start": 206, "machine": 1, "duration": 54 }, { "task": 2, "start": 260, "machine": 2, "duration": 25 } ] }, { "job": "J5", "tasks": [ { "task": 0, "start": 1, "machine": 0, "duration": 18 }, { "task": 1, "start": 88, "machine": 1, "duration": 22 }, { "task": 2, "start": 136, "machine": 2, "duration": 42 } ] }, { "job": "J6", "tasks": [ { "task": 0, "start": 21, "machine": 0, "duration": 90 }, { "task": 1, "start": 111, "machine": 1, "duration": 95 }, { "task": 2, "start": 206, "machine": 2, "duration": 49 } ] } ], "context_index": 23, "input_format": "nl", "input_index_base": 0 }, { "task_name": "FSP", "problem_type": "FSP", "instruction": "We manage a studio schedule where every vessel must be shaped, left to dry, and then fired, always following the same three-stage sequence.

"There’s a stack of shirts, dresses, and coats that all need the same three stops in order — spot treatment, a wash, then a press — and each stop takes a set amount of time per item. Since each machine handles one garment at a time, the trick is deciding the sequence to feed them through so the last garment is done as early as possible; the finish time of that last piece is how to tell if the plan is better. Everything must go through each step exactly once, and no two garments can use the same machine simultaneously. The concrete details for this batch appear below.\n\n# num_garments=6\n# num_stations=5\n# garment_ids=J1, J2, J3, J4, J5, J6\n# station_ids=1, 2, 3, 4, 5\ngarment_id,stage_index,station_id,processing_time\nJ1,0,1,1\nJ1,1,2,94\nJ1,2,3,38\nJ1,3,4,19\nJ1,4,5,23\nJ2,0,1,89\nJ2,1,2,20\nJ2,2,3,17\nJ2,3,4,20\nJ2,4,5,56\nJ3,0,1,8\nJ3,1,2,32\nJ3,2,3,51\nJ3,3,4,35\nJ3,4,5,63\nJ4,0,1,2\nJ4,1,2,64\nJ4,2,3,52\nJ4,3,4,8\nJ4,4,5,54\nJ5,0,1,39\nJ5,1,2,70\nJ5,2,3,5\nJ5,3,4,27\nJ5,4,5,54\nJ6,0,1,83\nJ6,1,2,26\nJ6,2,3,47\nJ6,3,4,29\nJ6,4,5,68\n\nYou can just follow this simple JSON layout when you send the actual schedule — nothing fancy, just a tidy form that lists each garment (job) and the tasks it goes through with timings and machines.

What matters is finishing the whole package as quickly as possible — checked by the time the last scene exits color grading. Every scene has to go through each of the three stages exactly once; details about durations and rooms follow below.\n\nBelow are the details for the 7 scenes and the 5 rooms: scene ids J1, J2, J3, J4, J5, J6, J7; room ids A, B, C, D, E.\n\n| scene_id | stage_index | required_room_id | processing_duration |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| J1 | 0 | A | 1 |\n| J1 | 1 | B | 8 |\n| J1 | 2 | C | 14 |\n| J1 | 3 | D | 65 |\n| J1 | 4 | E | 76 |\n| J2 | 0 | A | 11 |\n| J2 | 1 | B | 25 |\n| J2 | 2 | C | 84 |\n| J2 | 3 | D | 87 |\n| J2 | 4 | E | 49 |\n| J3 | 0 | A | 46 |\n| J3 | 1 | B | 84 |\n| J3 | 2 | C | 34 |\n| J3 | 3 | D | 39 |\n| J3 | 4 | E | 69 |\n| J4 | 0 | A | 55 |\n| J4 | 1 | B | 31 |\n| J4 | 2 | C | 53 |\n| J4 | 3 | D | 46 |\n| J4 | 4 | E | 61 |\n| J5 | 0 | A | 80 |\n| J5 | 1 | B | 39 |\n| J5 | 2 | C | 64 |\n| J5 | 3 | D | 20 |\n| J5 | 4 | E | 39 |\n| J6 | 0 | A | 36 |\n| J6 | 1 | B | 35 |\n| J6 | 2 | C | 12 |\n| J6 | 3 | D | 70 |\n| J6 | 4 | E | 38 |\n| J7 | 0 | A | 81 |\n| J7 | 1 | B | 59 |\n| J7 | 2 | C | 11 |\n| J7 | 3 | D | 28 |\n| J7 | 4 | E | 79 |\n\nThe aim is to sequence these entries so no room is double-booked and the last scene exits color grading as soon as possible.\n\nOh, and one more thing — when you send the schedule back, it'd be great if you follow a simple JSON layout so it's easy to read and parse. Something like this:\n\n{\n \"solution\": [\n {\n \"job\": ,\n \"tasks\": [\n {\n \"task\": ,\n \"start\": ,\n \"machine\": ,\n \"duration\": \n }\n ]\n }\n ]\n}\n\nThis just shows the shape I expect: each top-level entry is a job (a scene), inside each job there's a list of tasks (the three stages), and each task has when it starts, which room it uses, and how long it takes.

can take two groups at once. What needs deciding is the order and timing of those starts so the whole rotation wraps up fast. The thing to look at is the clock time when the final group is done cleaning: whoever finishes sooner wins in practice. Each group has set durations for the three parts, nothing is omitted or repeated, and the exact numbers are given below.\n\nThere are 6 student groups and 4 lab benches; the group ids are J1, J2, J3, J4, J5, J6 and the bench ids are 1, 2, 3, 4.\nGroup J1, step 0 uses bench 1 for 1 minutes.\nGroup J1, step 1 uses bench 2 for 21 minutes.\nGroup J1, step 2 uses bench 3 for 89 minutes.\nGroup J1, step 3 uses bench 4 for 11 minutes.\nGroup J2, step 0 uses bench 1 for 30 minutes.\nGroup J2, step 1 uses bench 2 for 33 minutes.\nGroup J2, step 2 uses bench 3 for 30 minutes.\nGroup J2, step 3 uses bench 4 for 52 minutes.\nGroup J3, step 0 uses bench 1 for 55 minutes.\nGroup J3, step 1 uses bench 2 for 43 minutes.\nGroup J3, step 2 uses bench 3 for 84 minutes.\nGroup J3, step 3 uses bench 4 for 36 minutes.\nGroup J4, step 0 uses bench 1 for 17 minutes.\nGroup J4, step 1 uses bench 2 for 42 minutes.\nGroup J4, step 2 uses bench 3 for 74 minutes.\nGroup J4, step 3 uses bench 4 for 8 minutes.\nGroup J5, step 0 uses bench 1 for 98 minutes.\nGroup J5, step 1 uses bench 2 for 54 minutes.\nGroup J5, step 2 uses bench 3 for 84 minutes.\nGroup J5, step 3 uses bench 4 for 68 minutes.\nGroup J6, step 0 uses bench 1 for 23 minutes.\nGroup J6, step 1 uses bench 2 for 8 minutes.\nGroup J6, step 2 uses bench 3 for 23 minutes.\nGroup J6, step 3 uses bench 4 for 13 minutes.\nKeep the goal in mind: minimize the clock time when the final group finishes cleaning.\n\nAlso, when you send the actual plan, please put it in this simple JSON shape so it's easy to read and check:\n\n{\n \"solution\": [\n {\n \"job\": ,\n \"tasks\": [\n {\n \"task\": ,\n \"start\": ,\n \"machine\": ,\n \"duration\": \n }\n ]\n }\n ]\n}\n\nThink of that JSON as a little form: \"solution\" holds a list of groups (jobs), each group gets a job id and a list of its steps. Each step (task) just records which numbered step it is, when it starts, which bench (machine) it uses, and how long it takes. It's just a sketch of the shape I need — not the real filled-in answer.\n\nPlease be sure to use the exact identifiers from the instance input — don't rename them or invent new labels. \n- for

and the job is to schedule them so the last pie finishes as early as possible. Picking one schedule over another matters because the clock time when the final pie is done changes — that finishing time is what’s used to judge a plan. Rules are simple: every pizza must go through the three stations in the same order, nothing is duplicated or left out, and a station can’t handle overlapping pies. The exact order of pies and how long each step takes will be shown below.\n\nBelow are the specifics: 7 pizzas, 5 stations, pizza ids J1, J2, J3, J4, J5, J6, J7, and station ids 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.\nPizza J1, step 0, needs 1 on station 0.\nPizza J1, step 1, needs 47 on station 1.\nPizza J1, step 2, needs 40 on station 2.\nPizza J1, step 3, needs 3 on station 3.\nPizza J1, step 4, needs 36 on station 4.\nPizza J2, step 0, needs 76 on station 0.\nPizza J2, step 1, needs 39 on station 1.\nPizza J2, step 2, needs 87 on station 2.\nPizza J2, step 3, needs 91 on station 3.\nPizza J2, step 4, needs 30 on station 4.\nPizza J3, step 0, needs 61 on station 0.\nPizza J3, step 1, needs 40 on station 1.\nPizza J3, step 2, needs 83 on station 2.\nPizza J3, step 3, needs 49 on station 3.\nPizza J3, step 4, needs 85 on station 4.\nPizza J4, step 0, needs 14 on station 0.\nPizza J4, step 1, needs 32 on station 1.\nPizza J4, step 2, needs 55 on station 2.\nPizza J4, step 3, needs 60 on station 3.\nPizza J4, step 4, needs 81 on station 4.\nPizza J5, step 0, needs 6 on station 0.\nPizza J5, step 1, needs 45 on station 1.\nPizza J5, step 2, needs 41 on station 2.\nPizza J5, step 3, needs 99 on station 3.\nPizza J5, step 4, needs 92 on station 4.\nPizza J6, step 0, needs 93 on station 0.\nPizza J6, step 1, needs 62 on station 1.\nPizza J6, step 2, needs 9 on station 2.\nPizza J6, step 3, needs 95 on station 3.\nPizza J6, step 4, needs 49 on station 4.\nPizza J7, step 0, needs 54 on station 0.\nPizza J7, step 1, needs 87 on station 1.\nPizza J7, step 2, needs 89 on station 2.\nPizza J7, step 3, needs 42 on station 3.\nPizza J7, step 4, needs 99 on station 4.\nUse these 7 pizzas and 5 stations to judge schedules by the finishing time.\n\nAlso, when you give me the schedule, please follow this JSON layout so it's clear and machine-friendly — nothing fancy, just the shape below.\n\n{\n \"solution\": [\n {\n \"job\": ,\n \"tasks\": [\n {\n \"task\": ,\n \"start\": ,\n \"machine\": ,\n \"duration\": \n }\n ]\n }\n ]\n}\n\nThink of the pieces like a simple form: \"solution\" is a list of pizzas (jobs), each entry names the job (\"job\") and lists its steps (\"tasks\"). Each step says which step number it is (\"task\"), when that step starts (\"start\"), which station handles it (\"machine\"), and how long it takes (\"duration\"). This JSON is just a sketch of the shape I expect — not the actual schedule.\n\nPlease also be sure to use the exact identifiers from the instance input — don't rename them and don't invent new labels.

The decision is about which piece goes when and how to time them so the cutting table, sewing machines, and press never have two pieces fighting for the same spot at once. A better plan is simply one where the whole batch is done sooner: measure that by the clock time when the last garment comes off the press, and try to make that as small as possible. Every garment must go through all three steps exactly once, with the known time each step takes, and the exact timings and durations will be shown below.\n\nI've got 8 garments and 3 workstations; the garment IDs are J1, J2, J3, J4, J5, J6, J7, J8 and the workstation IDs are A, B, C.\n\n| garment_id | step_index | workstation_id | operation_time |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| J1 | 0 | A | 1 |\n| J1 | 1 | B | 73 |\n| J1 | 2 | C | 91 |\n| J2 | 0 | A | 94 |\n| J2 | 1 | B | 43 |\n| J2 | 2 | C | 21 |\n| J3 | 0 | A | 48 |\n| J3 | 1 | B | 24 |\n| J3 | 2 | C | 27 |\n| J4 | 0 | A | 17 |\n| J4 | 1 | B | 38 |\n| J4 | 2 | C | 44 |\n| J5 | 0 | A | 49 |\n| J5 | 1 | B | 56 |\n| J5 | 2 | C | 95 |\n| J6 | 0 | A | 20 |\n| J6 | 1 | B | 66 |\n| J6 | 2 | C | 57 |\n| J7 | 0 | A | 37 |\n| J7 | 1 | B | 94 |\n| J7 | 2 | C | 89 |\n| J8 | 0 | A | 82 |\n| J8 | 1 | B | 58 |\n| J8 | 2 | C | 85 |\n\nI'll use these lines to schedule each task so no workstation is double-booked and the last press finishes as soon as possible.\n\nIf you want to send me a plan, a neat little JSON sketch makes it easy for me to read — nothing fancy, just this shape:\n\n{\n \"solution\": [\n {\n \"job\": ,\n \"tasks\": [\n {\n \"task\": ,\n \"start\": ,\n \"machine\": ,\n \"duration\": \n }\n ]\n }\n ]\n}\n\nThis shows the shape I'm expecting: a top-level \"solution\" list with one entry per garment (job). Each job has its identifier under \"job\" and a \"tasks\" list describing each step for that garment. Inside each task you'll put which step it is (\"task\"), when it starts (\"start\"), which machine it uses (\"machine\"), and how long it takes (\"duration\"). Think of it like filling out a simple work ticket for each piece.\n\nThis is just the sketch of the format — not the actual schedule itself.

Which schedule is best is decided by the clock time when the final patient is completely done — earlier finish times win.

appliances repair shop where every item must go through diagnosis, parts replacement, then final testing in that order. The job is to line things up so no station is double-booked and nothing gets skipped or repeated, and to pick the sequence that gets the very last unit ready for pickup as early as possible — that completion moment is found by looking at the end times of the final tests and taking the largest. Concrete runtimes and the list of units are shown below.\n\nWe have 6 units and 4 stations, with unit IDs J1, J2, J3, J4, J5, J6 and station IDs 0, 1, 2, 3.\nWe process unit J1, step 0 on station 0 for 1.\nWe process unit J1, step 1 on station 1 for 78.\nWe process unit J1, step 2 on station 2 for 96.\nWe process unit J1, step 3 on station 3 for 61.\nWe process unit J2, step 0 on station 0 for 69.\nWe process unit J2, step 1 on station 1 for 95.\nWe process unit J2, step 2 on station 2 for 85.\nWe process unit J2, step 3 on station 3 for 67.\nWe process unit J3, step 0 on station 0 for 70.\nWe process unit J3, step 1 on station 1 for 64.\nWe process unit J3, step 2 on station 2 for 45.\nWe process unit J3, step 3 on station 3 for 59.\nWe process unit J4, step 0 on station 0 for 14.\nWe process unit J4, step 1 on station 1 for 83.\nWe process unit J4, step 2 on station 2 for 39.\nWe process unit J4, step 3 on station 3 for 44.\nWe process unit J5, step 0 on station 0 for 4.\nWe process unit J5, step 1 on station 1 for 63.\nWe process unit J5, step 2 on station 2 for 44.\nWe process unit J5, step 3 on station 3 for 48.\nWe process unit J6, step 0 on station 0 for 24.\nWe process unit J6, step 1 on station 1 for 32.\nWe process unit J6, step 2 on station 2 for 30.\nWe process unit J6, step 3 on station 3 for 30.\nWe schedule these steps to avoid double-booking and to minimize when the last final test finishes.\n\nOh, and when you send the planned schedule back, a simple JSON sketch like this is perfect to capture the structure:\n\n{\n \"solution\": [\n {\n \"job\": ,\n \"tasks\": [\n {\n \"task\": ,\n \"start\": ,\n \"machine\": ,\n \"duration\": \n }\n ]\n }\n ]\n}\n\nThink of it as a little form: \"solution\" is a list of repair jobs; each job entry has the job identifier under \"job\" and a \"tasks\" list showing the steps that job goes through. For each task we note which step number it is (\"task\"), when that step starts (\"start\"), which station handles it (\"machine\"), and how long it takes (\"duration\"). This is just the expected shape — a sketch of the format, not the actual schedule.\n\nPlease make sure to use the exact identifiers given in the instance input — no renaming and no invented labels.

from the mixer to the oven to the glazing bench in that exact order, each step taking a set amount of time. The decision is how to line up the loaves so that the whole batch is finished as quickly as possible — the plan that finishes the very last loaf sooner is the better one. To see which plan wins, look at when each loaf comes off the glazing bench and take the latest finishing time; that number is what needs to be as small as possible. Remember, the mixer, oven, and glazing station can each handle only one loaf at a time, and every loaf must go through all three steps exactly once.

The detailed platter times are shown below.\n\nThere were 6 platters and 5 stations; the platters were J1, J2, J3, J4, J5, J6 and the stations were 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.\n\n| platter_id | step_index | station_id | processing_time |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| J1 | 0 | 1 | 1 |\n| J1 | 1 | 2 | 57 |\n| J1 | 2 | 3 | 49 |\n| J1 | 3 | 4 | 36 |\n| J1 | 4 | 5 | 88 |\n| J2 | 0 | 1 | 27 |\n| J2 | 1 | 2 | 14 |\n| J2 | 2 | 3 | 74 |\n| J2 | 3 | 4 | 78 |\n| J2 | 4 | 5 | 26 |\n| J3 | 0 | 1 | 75 |\n| J3 | 1 | 2 | 71 |\n| J3 | 2 | 3 | 13 |\n| J3 | 3 | 4 | 5 |\n| J3 | 4 | 5 | 70 |\n| J4 | 0 | 1 | 61 |\n| J4 | 1 | 2 | 7 |\n| J4 | 2 | 3 | 68 |\n| J4 | 3 | 4 | 74 |\n| J4 | 4 | 5 | 88 |\n| J5 | 0 | 1 | 74 |\n| J5 | 1 | 2 | 44 |\n| J5 | 2 | 3 | 83 |\n| J5 | 3 | 4 | 87 |\n| J5 | 4 | 5 | 46 |\n| J6 | 0 | 1 | 37 |\n| J6 | 1 | 2 | 10 |\n| J6 | 2 | 3 | 54 |\n| J6 | 3 | 4 | 61 |\n| J6 | 4 | 5 | 70 |\n\nThe coordinator's objective remained to minimize when the final platter finished across the 6 platters at the 5 stations.\n\nIf you want the schedule back in a tidy, machine-friendly way, just follow this little JSON layout when you send it over:\n\n{\n \"solution\": [\n {\n \"job\": ,\n \"tasks\": [\n {\n \"task\": ,\n \"start\": ,\n \"machine\": ,\n \"duration\": \n }\n ]\n }\n ]\n}\n\nThink of it like a simple form: \"solution\" holds a list of platters (jobs). Each platter entry names the platter (\"job\") and then lists its steps (\"tasks\"). For each step you say which step number it is (\"task\"), when that step should start (\"start\"), which station it's on (\"machine\"), and how long that step takes (\"duration\"). This is just the sketch of the shape I need, not the actual schedule.\n\nPlease use the exact identifiers from the instance input — don’t rename them or invent new labels. Valid identifiers look like plain numbers such as “1” or “23”, single capital letters like “A” or “B”, or a capital letter followed by digits like “A1” or “X7”.", "instance": { "nr_machines": 5,

in the workshop is juggling a stack of tabletops and a calendar: each tabletop must be cut, sanded and finished, and the only choice is the order to feed them through those machines. A good ordering is the one that makes the last tabletop come off the finishing stage sooner rather than later — that final completion time is the score for the plan. All tabletops must go through cutting → sanding → finishing exactly once, and machines can’t handle two pieces at once. The detailed task times are laid out below.\n\n# nr_tabletops=6\n# nr_stations=4\n# tabletops=J1, J2, J3, J4, J5, J6\n# stations=0, 1, 2, 3\ntabletop_id,operation_index,station_id,processing_time\nJ1,0,0,1\nJ1,1,1,84\nJ1,2,2,1\nJ1,3,3,28\nJ2,0,0,94\nJ2,1,1,70\nJ2,2,2,24\nJ2,3,3,10\nJ3,0,0,14\nJ3,1,1,13\nJ3,2,2,52\nJ3,3,3,74\nJ4,0,0,78\nJ4,1,1,12\nJ4,2,2,81\nJ4,3,3,67\nJ5,0,0,40\nJ5,1,1,69\nJ5,2,2,51\nJ5,3,3,2\nJ6,0,0,57\nJ6,1,1,81\nJ6,2,2,1\nJ6,3,3,74\n\nAlso, when you hand me the plan, please put it in a simple JSON shape so it's easy to read and reuse. Something like this:\n\n{\n \"solution\": [\n {\n \"job\": ,\n \"tasks\": [\n {\n \"task\": ,\n \"start\": ,\n \"machine\": ,\n \"duration\": \n }\n ]\n }\n ]\n}\n\nThis is just a sketch of the shape I expect: \"solution\" is an array of jobs, each job entry gives the job identifier and a list of its tasks. Each task entry shows which task number it is, when that task starts, which machine it runs on, and how long it takes. Keep it casual — it's like filling out a little form for each tabletop as it moves through cutting, sanding and finishing.\n\nThis JSON block is only the expected shape, not the actual schedule.

much planning goes into a simple run: samples must go through a centrifuge, then an incubator, then an assay, and the order you send them in determines how long the whole batch takes.

All samples have set times for each stage, none can skip or repeat a stage, and equipment can’t work on more than one sample at once.
