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


Listen Later

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?
