The overtime is the process symptom

Overtime masks the process gap. The fix is the schedule and the visibility, not the extra hour.

Overtime is the mask of a process problem: the dock that runs on the extra hours is the dock that never saw the fix. The question is not how long the team can last — it is why the process needs them to.

The overtime is the symptom, not the plan

When the yard absorbs the process failure with hours, the process stays broken and the cost stays hidden. The fix is the layout, the schedule, the visibility — the changes that make the overtime unnecessary.

The hour of overtime is the measure of the process gap.

The dock that plans the work — not the work around the failure — is the one that runs the cost down.
