Ep.1632 - The Engines of the Train: Pace Setters in Construction Flow

In this episode, Jason explores the concept of the "engine" in a train analogy and how it relates to construction flow. He dives into pace setters, buffers, and the drum-buffer-rope system, explaining how controlling the pace at the right point like the engine of a trainkeeps your project running smoothly. What you'll learn in this episode: Why the pace setter is the key to efficient project flow. How buffers and ropes protect the workflow and trades from upstream delays. How the drum-buffer-rope system applies to multi-train takt planning. Why controlling the engine, not the wagons, accelerates your project. Are you focusing on the wagons or the engine in your project workflow?
