	13 Apr 2024	Combating the Bungee Effect with Lean Principles - Jason Schroeder	01:15:51
In this episode of The EBFC show, Felipe Engineer-Manriquez and Jason Schroeder dig into the challenges that the construction industry faces due to the 'bungee effect' – poor planning leading to volatile work schedules and frequent disruptions. They share their expertise on adopting lean and scrum methodologies and maintaining workflow on the job site, discussing their practical strategies for overcoming unpredictable situations. Through comprehensive conversation, Jason and Felipe shed light on the wider implications of ineffective project management. They share how poor work management practices can lead to increased stress, decreased work pride, and a compromise in project quality. Understanding these facets, the duo stresses the value of adopting efficient planning strategies for enhancing work quality and productivity. The popular traditional paradigm that 'bigger is always better' has major drawbacks. Instead, you can implement reduced batch sizes and right-sized teams to realize the benefits of frequent and consistent delivery of work. Real-world insights are shared, highlighting the benefits of experimenting with systems and understanding them to make necessary adjustments. The episode also broadens to reflect on systemic issues affecting the industry, including housing scarcity and a declining workforce driven by socioeconomic conditions. Changemakers are at work to create conditions to serve as flagship examples and emphasize the importance of making structural changes to progress toward a productive and brighter future. Navigate this transformative episode to gain a nuanced perspective on the construction industry, lean management, and systemic challenges. Learn how to beat the 'bungee effect' and adopt effective strategies to reinforce the resilience of your projects. #Leanconstruction #respectforpeople #takt #scrum Referenced Show Links: Lean Takt via YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/c/leanTakt Website at https://www.elevateconstructionist.com/takt-planning/ Takt Guide Website at https://www.taktguide.com/ Connect with Jason via LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonschroederelevatingconstruction/ Connect with Felipe via Construction Scrum (book & audiobook) via https://constructionscrum.com/ Social media at https://thefelipe.bio.link Subscribe on YouTube to never miss new videos here: https://click.theebfcshow.com/youtube --- Today's episode is sponsored by the Lean Construction Institute (LCI).

	09 Nov 2022	No Lean Fluff, Applied Industrial Engineering with Dr. Shahrukh Irani	01:01:02
⚠️ Warning ⚠️ This episode is not for the easily offended Lean practitioner. Dr. Shahrukh Irani is an experienced industrial engineer specializing in high-mix, low-volume Lean implementations. Shahrukh has studied Lean and is a practicing industrial engineer, author, and teacher. In his own words about his book, “WARNING! This book [Job Shop Lean] is written by an Industrial Engineer who never worked at Toyota. But that did not deter me! I figured out that whatever the general public knows about the Toyota Production System aka LEAN is IE [Industrial Engineering] that Toyota used in the 1900s. And IE in the 1900s was not enabled by Operations Research, Data Science and a horde of software tools.” His favorite place to be is where people implement Job Shop Lean in various manufacturing facilities like forge or machine shops, fabrication facilities, and shipping departments. He has applied lean problem-solving to product family formation, work cell design, production scheduling, and proven techniques to drive continuous improvement.

	22 Jun 2022	Changing How to Build with Hal Macomber Part 2	00:50:47
Hal Macomber says, “Lean is NOT a cost-cutting approach. Lean is a people development approach.” The current state of construction is changing. More and more people are changing how we build. In this continued interview, Hal shares what actions you can take to build higher team performance while building new capabilities including his standard approach for improving project delivery. When we focus on people and improving construction flow, we will be engaged in better strategies to minimize the impact of variation and complexity. "Use Flow as your improvement metric. Engage the people doing the work, that is how to make positive changes, and continue learning." Focus on flow, use Takt Planning, and heed the production laws. The Four Production Laws include: The Law of Variation The Theory of Constraints (bottlenecks) Little’s Law (batch size and durations) Kingman’s Forumla (capacity utilization and variation) Free Takt Resources: https://www.elevateconstructionist.com/taktbookresources Free Construction Scrum Book Resources https://constructionscrum.com/downloads Connect with Hal via LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/halmacomber/ Connect with Felipe via Social media at https://thefelipe.bio.link Subscribe on YouTube to never miss new videos here: https://rb.gy/q5vaht --- Today’s episode is sponsored by Bosch RefinemySite.

The unknown enables us to grow when we take on new challenges. You don’t have to leap into it alone when it comes to improving your work. LaShira Champion-King is a passionate builder dedicated to improving project delivery and has helped many construction project teams adopt the continuous improvement mindset. She shares her knowledge and experience in providing value while minimizing waste throughout different projects. She has decades of experience helping people transform to make their project delivery easier and better. Gifts and Hooks Introduction Activity Give each person four sticky notes. They will use 3 to state a gift they give to the group (e.g., experience, knowledge of what hasn't worked, Innovation), and one sticky will state a "hook" that will keep them fully engaged in the meeting/workshop (e.g., focusing on the future, open environment). Then post the sticky notes to show commonalities among the group. *The use of sticky notes here is a part of "ninja Scrum" for LaShira. It’s her way to start people off with the process without much suspicion.

How do you find people in design and construction working to make our industry better than they found it? Often you find them in genuine conversations sharing honestly about how things are and what we are working on today. Kate Simons and Millicent Drabble are two such individuals that are transforming the industry from within. Incremental steps taken regularly with the right people make a community, a tribe, that work together on meaningful changes. Kate’s passion is learning, coaching, and continuous improvement. Through her role as Director of Scheduling and Controls at Shawmut Design and Construction, you can find her talking about flow, predictability, human connection, quality, creating value, and helping people translate plans and ideas into action. She is incredibly lucky in that she gets an almost daily opportunity to help jobsite teams better leverage their individual strengths, solve problems and communicate more effectively. Kate specializes in Collaborative Planning, Scheduling, and Team Alignment/Communication. She recently volunteered to re-kickstart the New England Lean COP and has spent the last year trying new and scary experiences [like being on a podcast]. Connect with Kate Simons via LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/katherine-simons-psp-cm-lean-25872b14/ Learn more about Liberating Structures via Website https://www.liberatingstructures.com/ A proud poetic pragmatist, Millicent Drabble firmly believes in the power combination of being technically skilled, people savvy, and curious. With a career in the built environment that encompasses design, construction, operations, and maintenance across five countries, she knows that project management and risk management are unifying dialects across stakeholders, cultures, currency, and expectations. It’s collaborating with and learning from a diverse array of people that really gets Millicent excited, and in her role as Manager of Construction Operations for Shawmut Design and Construction’s West Region, she relishes the ability to do this, not only within the organization but with peers in the industry through the Urban Land Institute. Having (almost) mastered the art of embracing uncertainty as a global nomad, Millicent leverages her leadership identity to inspire people and teams, by nurturing the confidence required to fail and evolve – we are in the business of problem-solving after all!

Kaitlin Frank is a former superintendent, multi-generation builder, and now CEO at eMOD Safety Inc. She loves construction and leads her company like a well-managed building project using Sprints (#Scrum). eMOD’s team of experienced commercial construction superintendents, project managers, and safety officers made a dedicated safety solution to efficiently manage, track, and comply with environmental, health, and safety regulations right from their fingertips. Construction workers and management are under increasing pressure to deliver on-time and under-budget, despite facing increasing regulations and hazards. Analog traditional project management processes lead to poor accountability, a lack of foresight, zero visibility, low productivity, and an inability to continuously improve. Kaitlin has done the research and found that 7 out of 10 front-line builders put productivity above safety and cited their work as a priority above their physical well-being. Construction fatalities are greater than even military deaths per year. We owe this and the next generation of construction owners, insurance companies, general contractors, subcontractors, and tradespeople safe projects.
