Cycle Time Isn't An Operations Issue

Why Your Cycle Time Problem Isn't an Operations Issue | Unsolicited Feedback Podcast

In this episode of Unsolicited Feedback, host Chuck Knabusch discusses why cycle time issues in organizations are less about speed and more about system design. Drawing from over 40 years of experience in military, corporate, and entrepreneurial settings, Chuck explores the pitfalls of treating cycle time as a departmental issue rather than a cross-functional system problem. He emphasizes the importance of exposing and designing the entire system before attempting to optimize any part of it. Chuck also highlights how common solutions often fail by attacking symptoms rather than core assumptions and provides real-world examples and insights into effectively managing cycle time.
