Amateurs study tactics, armchair generals study strategy, but professionals study logistics, and that one principle explains why so many projects with good plans still fail in the field. In this episode, Jason Schroeder breaks down what a self-sustaining logistics system actually looks like on a construction site, from deputizing the crane, hoist and forklift operators to implementing zero tolerance for staging, cleanliness and material flow. If logistics are not locked in, no other system on your project will perform the way it was designed to.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why logistics is the foundational layer that either supports or undermines every other system on the project site
• How to deputize your crane, hoist and forklift operators to become self-sustaining enforcers of your logistical standards
• The eleven logistical rules every project site should post, practice and hold to with zero tolerance
• How a daily GroupMe correction system keeps your logistics carpenters and laborers accountable and moving in the right direction
• Why just-in-time deliveries by Takt zone are impossible without a stable, visual and actively maintained logistics system underneath them

You cannot win with Takt planning, Last Planner or any other production system unless your logistics are locked in and self-sustaining.
