Personnel needed per station = booked production time ÷ the scenario's target time per operator, rounded up.

Every production line, using each one's most recently created scenario as the reference. Real = personnel currently staffed on that scenario's stations (Balancing Line). Calculated = headcount required from booked times in the Database.
