Master the Rules of Takt Steering & Control
If you’ve ever struggled with too many trades in one zone, stacked crews, or chaos on your schedule, this episode of the Elevate Construction Podcast is for you. Jason Schroeder breaks down the rules of Takt steering and control the guardrails that keep flow, balance, and productivity intact.
You’ll learn why: ✅ Diagonal trade flow is non-negotiable ✅ Durations should never be shortened without trade partner buy-in ✅ Trade stacking and overburden destroy performance ✅ Buffers, workable backlog, and pre-kitting are essential to maintaining flow
Jason also explains why Takt scheduling has more logic than CPM, how multi-train Takt plans really work, and why protecting the line of balance is the key to keeping projects moving without burnout or breakdowns.
