Description: Oded touches on a specific practical issue related to the fundamental part of the logistical solution of TOC, mainly the financial aspect of Buffer Management. Managers face a conflict between having buffers and managing them properly, since the task requires from time to time financial support. Oded starts by explaining the three types of flow that exist in the organization and then goes into the use of buffers to manage these flows. He shows the financial side of the logistical buffers, specifically the concept of using buffers as insurance for protection against unpredicted events. He explains his concept of money buffers for Make to Order (MTO), Make To Availability (MTA), Distribute to Availability (DTA) environments, as an integral part of Buffer Management.
