Jason continues recording from his hotel in Mexico and takes on the short interval scheduling responsibilities of foremen and assistant superintendents. He walks through the history from 1965 push CPM lookaheads, through the last planner system with weekly work plans and percent plan complete, all the way to today's gap where many new foremen and supers can't even create a three week schedule themselves. He lays out the good, better, and best progression and lands on Takt control as the highest expression of short interval execution, where standard work steps inside each Takt wagon get refined cycle after cycle.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why every superintendent and foreman must be able to build a Gantt chart in Excel at minimum

• The history of short interval planning from CPM lookaheads to last planner to Takt control

• Good, better, best: super made lookaheads, last planner pull plans, then Takt control

• Why Takt control targets 100 percent completion of work steps inside each Takt wagon, not just 80 percent PPC

• How standard work sequences inside cycle times let foremen perfect a plan instead of inventing a new one each week

If every week is a fresh round of chaos, the system is broken. Standardize the cycle, control the Takt, and let the work get better every time around.
