In this episode, Jason dives into a powerful logistics concept that can completely change how construction teams organize work in the field. He explains the "five-and-five" principle: can workers access everything they need within five steps and five seconds? along with the idea that all visual information and standard work should be understandable from ten feet away.
Drawing from lean manufacturing, military logistics, and real-world construction examples, Jason explains why logistics is one of the most overlooked but critical systems in construction. From strike zones and kitted carts to de-trashing stations, Kanban replenishment, and visual controls, the goal is to eliminate wasted motion, reduce confusion, and allow crews to focus entirely on installation instead of scrambling for materials or information.

Are your crews spending their time installing or searching, walking, and scrambling for what they need?
