Show Notes

In this podcast we cover:

  • Multi-train Takt plans.
  • Other Flow Units.
  • Why AWP will still fail.

In this episode, I share clarifications on Lean and reflect on the misconceptions holding back our industry. I talk about why I do not believe any company has yet reached the level of being a true Lean organization and outline the principles we must embrace to move forward: shedding our egos, never stopping our learning, networking as a community, and questioning everything. I also explore common misunderstandings about takt planning and flow units, explaining why construction requires multi-train takt plans and a broader view of flow than traditional manufacturing thinking provides. With insights from Paul Akers, How Big Things Get Done, Built to Fail, and the Lean Builder, this discussion highlights why Lean in construction is still in research and development and why we must keep striving together.
