Ep.1086 - Finishing up the Book Built to Fail

In this podcast we cover: Information for JIT, Supply, and Procurement. In this episode, I close out my reflections on the book Built to Fail and dive into some of the most powerful lessons it offers. From the challenges of modular construction to the importance of just-in-time material management, I explore what the industry gets right and where it falls short. I break down why accepting extreme lead times without question hurts projects and how pushing back can unlock new efficiencies. I share thoughts on controlling supply chains, reducing administrative waste, and partnering strategically to improve flow. You will also hear about practical strategies for balancing inventory, optimizing resources, and leveraging technology to make supply systems more agile. This is a call to construction professionals to stop settling for the status quo and start building systems that actually work.
