Jason makes the case that the worsening supply chain crisis can't be wished away, but the unforced errors absolutely can. Recording from the road after setting up a new studio, he walks through a four part emergency plan every project should have running in the next two weeks: a real procurement log built in Excel with all the right columns, a weekly procurement meeting with the entire project team, daily 15 minute standup huddles aligned around procurement roadblocks, and a Takt plan with that procurement log built no later than the end of schematic design. The podcast is a direct call to stop blindly absorbing impacts and start managing procurement as a baseline.
What you'll learn in this episode:
Why a submittal register is not a procurement log and what columns you actually need
How to build buffer durations and conditional formatting that surface points of release at risk
How a real baseline lets you have honest, transparent OAC conversations with the owner
Why long lead trade partners must be brought on in pre construction or the schedule fails
The four item emergency action list every project should implement now
The supply chain crisis is real. The unforced errors stacked on top of it are optional. Get the log running and let the owner see what you actually know.
