In this episode, Jason dives into his newest book, Elevating Construction Logistics, and explores some of the most impactful concepts for managing construction supply chains and site flow. From the Berlin Airlift and military logistics to Japanese operational practices, Jason highlights strategies like the logistics tail, catcher most, lead time optimization, 5-and-5 access principles, breakout queues, marshalling yards, and hub-and-spoke distribution for mega projects.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• How to manage the logistics tail and understand upstream dependencies.
• The importance of lead time reduction and proactive planning.
• How to implement marshalling yards and hub-and-spoke systems on site.
• Strategies to prevent waste before it enters the project.
• Practical examples from military, manufacturing, and Japanese logistics.

Are your logistics systems preventing problems before they reach the job site or are you constantly reacting to chaos?
