Right-Sized Crews — Line Balance Without the Burnout

If your productivity chart looks like a heart monitor, this episode is for you. Walk a clinic floor with a foreman who stops chasing “more bodies” and starts balancing the line. You’ll learn field-ready moves: a 30-minute walk-and-watch to find the true bottleneck, a plywood Yamazumi to size tasks, two simple work cells (layout + install) with a dedicated runner, and a visual flow board with a tongue-in-cheek purple baton to signal “truly ready.” We’ll show how capping WIP, dynamic rebalancing, and tiny pit-stops cut rework and overtime—without cutting corners.


Foremen and supers: turn spikes into steady beats and make Tuesday feel like a metronome. #BeNEXT
