Keeping Production On Schedule

A production schedule is good, but less helpful if you don't adhere to it. So here's my question: How can one ensure that on set, they get things done as quickly, and efficiently as possible so that time doesn't run out? Schedules will be more accurate if one knows the crew they are working with, and has more experience in general, but what works for you all? What tips could you offer?
Thank you in advance.

I appreciate the reply. It is my understanding that they are also responsible for the call sheets? And what does the 2nd do? Do they mostly work with extras and making sure people are on set when they need to be?

Yeah call sheets come under schedule :) Sounds like you've got your head around what the role is

Agreed! In my experience the most important crew members are
the audio team and the first. Both essential jobs most overlooked
by students and beginning filmmakers.

And to add to this the communication between them [first and audio] and then to the DOP is what can be the make or breaker of finishing on time.

Getting things done smoothly is about communication, not just on film sets, in real life too.
