I get what you’re saying but there are also advantages to waiting until you need the doors to get the doors. I build finish and install. I prefer to not install doors and drawer faces until after I’ve hung them in the house. This way I don’t have a ton of excess inventory in my small shop. I can get the cabinets built, loaded, and delivered, then when I have my space freed up we can start painting doors while the cabinets are getting installed. Then once they’re painted we can go install them. This maintains throughput and keeps my bottlenecks from being overwhelmed and stoping the line. In the environment in the video it definitely seems like the right call but in my operation, when a cabinet rolls off the line (without doors) it goes into the delivery trailer it saves weight and I’d remove the doors to hang them anyway so installing doors once instead of twice reduces over processing

Totally agree

Great illustrations!

Like your videos and I'm learning lots but you're coming off very black and white here. We specialize in multifamily construction installing close to a thousand kitchens every year and it would be downright irresponsible to ship cabinets with the doors installed due to delivery and trade damage.

Best lean video ever!!

Thanks Brad for fun analogy. But how did the coffee taste?
