Ep.1157 - Working Together, Feat. Professor Thais Alves
In this podcast we cover:
- How to merge the genius of the field and academia.
- What we can do to network together and elevate together.
In this episode, I share my approach to scheduling civil projects using takt planning. I explain how I break down projects into zones and stationing, calculate durations from production rates, and sequence crews to create reliable flow. I also cover how to add buffers, analyze risks, and bring the plan into a fresh eyes meeting with the team. This episode dives into why civil work is uniquely suited for takt and how it can bring clarity and efficiency to projects that are often seen as complex or unpredictable. Whether you are new to takt or looking for better ways to schedule your civil projects, you will gain insights into building flow and confidence into every phase of your work.
