This is valuable information. I recently transitioned from a Plumbing Superintendent to a general contracting Superintendent. I’m finding these videos. Very helpful.

I totally agree this is the way to go, but what do we do with all the owners we are dealing with that are constantly making changes. The work flow gets totally out of whack with the constant start and stops creating by an owner that doesn't understand construction. Especially when we are trying to educate them about the impacts.

This is a great question. Here is my answer: 1. Always build from the Takt plan even if you must as-built it in CPM. 2. Always plan your phases with buffers so you can absorb delays. 3. When delays happen, adjust the plan according to trade flow and mark the impacts on the zone maps and communicate the impact. Ask for help when needed.

Thank you, Jason, for such great content. I am a training specialist starting a training program for a trades subcontracting company (HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing, and Fire) and am finding your channel a wealth of information. A question about scheduling - As a trade partner, can Takt scheduling work at our level? If so, how?

Yes. I have a video coming out soon for this on the LeanTakt channel.

Good day Jason. Can you explain why trying to stick to a five day takt time would fail?
@jasonwilliamschroeder2 ай бұрын
@@ravilalla7673 sticking with a 5 day Takt time is like saying let’s drive 10 miles per hour everywhere and all the time. That would be insane. Driving on a road or with the Train of Trades at only one speed is an arbitrary rule that will slow projects. And more specifically, most Takt plans do not optimize to a 5 day Takt time, and using the weekends as the drum beat is problematic because it creates push instead of absorbing delays.

@@jasonwilliamschroeder but isn't saying 4 days or 3 days is analogous to driving the same speed everywhere? Anyway, what does make sense is not all wagons would optimize at the same duration but isn't TAKT planning supposed to create a rhythm by levelling based on either resource allocation/utilization or selecting an optimum TAKT time? I also agree that using the weekends is problematic since it introduces all sorts of negative dynamics in the mix. So sticking to a four day TAKT time allows for a 1 day buffer in the 5 day work week but it still equates to ta 5 day takt time (4 days of work and 1 day of buffer). With all that said, I still think that this is the best way to model a project since it gives the max visibility to the project than all the other systems in existence. Which is why I am determined to master it, and implement it in my region. Thanks again for all the work you and your team are putting in and I look forward to your next content and even maybe meeting you in the future.

Hey Jason, I'm a younger fire alarm tech/foreman, GCs are always pushing ridiculous dates, things like elevator inspections in 3 days before even having any lobby ceilings. The obvious answer is to just ignore these calls to action, but I'm then left without any sort of structure or realistic schedule. Any tips?

I would attempt to create a schedule that takes care of your needs and present it to the contractor. Is that possible?

What is a buffer
@Penname25Ай бұрын
Extra time added to the project plan and schedule in case unplanned delays happen like bad weather or emergencies or a sudden change in the entire project. Think of time as money and buffers as emergency funds.
