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.
