The Bungee Effect - Why Projects Delay in Construction..

The video delves into the concept of the "bungee effect" in construction projects, likening it to the recoil experienced in bungee jumping. Jason explains how trade stacking and trade burdening, commonly used strategies, actually hinder project progress rather than expedite it.
Using an example scenario, he illustrates how attempting to speed up work after a delay by adding more labor leads to decreased productivity, increased variation, and ultimately a longer overall duration. He emphasizes the importance of considering resource capabilities and recommends a zoning strategy to absorb delays without affecting project deadlines.
Jason also highlights their team's expertise in implementing the Takt Production System® to help clients manage delays effectively while maintaining schedule adherence. Overall, the video stresses the significance of understanding and mitigating the bungee effect to successfully complete construction projects on time and without compromising quality.

Really value your insights.

Hi!
I have a few questions:
1. Moving a delayed activity in an area forward to keep the trade flow also "hurts" all the following subcontractors trade flow by not having a new area to work on for one takt/cycle? One takt could be several days or weeks depending on the work and they have often committed their crew to work on the site for a duration of time. If there isnt to much else to do on their "work backlog" on site and this delay comes suddenly they need to send their crew away to another site if they have any? How would you handle the situation?
2. If one subcontractor isnt committing to the time schedule, not delivering finished work on time for the following trades, eating up the project buffers etc.. How would you get them to keep the time schedule? Would you "step in", take charge and help them? Would you consider having them work over time and weekends? Would you remind them of the economical consequences of a delayed project when the buffers are gone?

1. That is why we always plan workable backlog.
2. I haven’t experienced this. To your point we would address it kept happening.
