Optimizing Tact Planning for Enhanced Construction Flow

In this podcast we cover:

• How to use different Takt Times.
• Why we do not use the weekends as the indicator.

In this episode, I respond to a thoughtful question about Takt planning and whether moving away from a five-day rhythm is like driving the same speed everywhere.

I explain why Takt planning is about flexibility, not rigidity, and how adjusting to shorter Takt times creates better flow. I also share how multiple trains can run at different speeds within the same phase, why weekends should not dictate project rhythm, and how the real power of Takt lies in the visibility it provides. If you’re serious about mastering Takt and bringing flow to your projects, this episode will help you see the bigger picture.
