He explains why pushing workers, adding extra crews, or forcing every zone to be active can actually create costly inefficiencies, while well-balanced flow and strategic pacing prevent unnecessary waste. What you'll learn in this episode:  The hidden cost of \u201cwaiting you pay for\u201d vs. natural gaps in work. How to balance resource efficiency and work efficiency. Why rushing, trade stacking, and overtime can hurt flow and morale. How to optimize production without overburdening crews. The Lean definition of success: fastest throughput, highest quality, lowest cost, and respect for people.  Are your crews truly working efficiently, or are you paying for waiting unnecessarily?
