Jason takes on the industry's favorite scapegoat in the supply chain crisis: just in time deliveries. He makes the case that just in time is not the villain, batching and overproduction are. He walks through what just in time actually is, why most projects fail to use it correctly without a Takt plan, procurement log, supermarkets, and right sized buffers, and why every batch order placed ahead of need is a project cutting in line and slowing the entire global supply chain. The episode opens with a powerful framework from a Norwegian Lean expert called the seven conditions for a sound activity.
What you'll learn in this episode:
The seven conditions for a sound activity that must be met before any work begins
What just in time actually means: tact time, flow production, and pull systems
Why required on job dates, supply chain points of release, and supermarkets are non negotiable
How batching and overproduction trigger the seven wastes and slow the whole system
Why honest ordering on a Takt rhythm is the only real fix to the supply chain crisis
If you must batch order to survive the chaos, at least know who's actually to blame for the chaos. It's not just in time.
