Do you believe that there is such a thing as a perfect construction schedule? In this episode, Hoots and Jason explore what it takes to develop a perfect schedule. Jason has discovered a scheduling system that works and could be considered ‘The perfect schedule’. Tune in to discover exactly what that system looks like.
The Perfect Schedule
Through a demonstration, Jason helps the Lean Builder nation understand the power of visualization while folding a piece of paper into a cup. You’re going to want to see this episode, not just listen!
Jason and Hoots start by defining exactly what a perfect schedule means. The following is the definition that was developed as a result of the conversation. A perfect schedule is…
- a schedule that the team can see and make perfect together.
- has a perfect sequence of trade partners.
- is focused on the flow unit.
- a schedule that has a complete understanding of systems thinking.
- a schedule that merges a lean culture in a lean system.
