Listen "Ep.1201 - Auto-Regulating Bottlenecks"
Episode Synopsis
In this podcast we cover: Why placing bottlenecks in the system might not be a bad thing. Why auto-regulating bottlenecks in a system can align work in progress. How to intentionally use them. In this episode of the Elevate Construction Podcast, I dive into why bottlenecks aren't always the problem we think they are. I share insights from my time at LCI Congress and lessons from Takt planning that reveal how well-placed gates can regulate work in progress, prevent unfinished tasks, and protect team flow. I also unpack why slowing down at the right moments can actually make projects run faster and smoother. This conversation challenges the traditional view of bottlenecks, showing how they can become powerful tools for sustaining productivity. If you're tired of wasted effort, chaos, and firefighting on your projects, this episode is for you.
