Description

Jason begins the Takt steering and control series by separating roadblocks from constraints. He explains that constraints are permanent or semi-permanent parts of the system design that you steer around, while roadblocks are temporary items out ahead of the train that should be removed. He lists examples of each and describes roadblock tracking maps and the roadblock removal average.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• The difference between a constraint and a roadblock
• Examples of roadblocks, such as unanswered RFIs, missing layout, and missing materials
• How first planners handle constraints and last planners handle roadblocks
• How to track roadblocks on a map and measure how many days ahead they are removed
• Why treating a constraint as a roadblock leaves trades feeling hopeless

Do you know which items on your project are constraints and which are roadblocks?
