Description

Jason explores a question Hal Macomber posed to him, what is the Andon in construction, the equivalent of the Toyota production line's stop the line signal. He explains the Andon concept from manufacturing, why construction's flow of trades and value receiving zones make this harder to define, and shares what worked and what didn't when his teams tried stop, call, and wait.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• What an Andon system is and how it works in manufacturing
• Why construction's flow unit and value receiving unit are different things
• How stop, call, and wait empowers workers to fix quality at the source
• What worked, and what fell short, when Jason tried this on real jobs
• Why every project needs a clear way to signal and stop for problems

What would your Andon actually be on your own project?
