If your projects suffer from late deliveries, mystery defects, and surprise trade performance issues, this episode will show you why. Jason Schroeder explains a simple but powerful idea he learned from Toyota, when you sign up a trade partner, you should also be signing up for an open door relationship. 

You'll learn:

• Why Toyota insists its people can visit vendor shops anytime.
• How an open door policy with trades prevents defects from ever reaching the site.
• When it is smarter to support a vendor than to pull the work in house.
• How visiting shops and crews builds trust, standards, and true one team culture.

This episode is not about micromanaging, it is about partnership. Because if you want reliable flow on site, you have to care about what is happening long before the truck shows up at your gate.

Listen now and start building open door relationships with your trade partners that protect your schedule, your quality, and your reputation.
