Using a humorous analogy of navigating an In-N-Out drive-thru, he explains how insufficient buffers not only disrupt workflow but also put workers under unnecessary stress. What you'll learn in this episode:  The difference between waiting you pay for versus waiting you don\u2019t. Why buffers are essential for both workflow and worker safety. How before-phase planning prevents delays and maximizes flow. Key pre-planning activities to execute a phase successfully. How small adjustments upstream save massive time downstream.  Are you fully leveraging before-phase planning to keep your projects flowing without unnecessary stops?
