Some TOC practitioners have the perception that Buffers in TOC are there just to absorb variability. This is partially true but it is not the full picture, and this does not explain the difference between the meaning of the ‘TOC buffers’ and the conventional ‘buffers’.
The TOCICO dictionary states that: “buffer – Protection against uncertainty. The protection is aggregated and may take the form of time, stock (inventory), capacity, space or money. Buffers are strategically located to protect the system from disruption.”
Actually, the above definition is true for any protection mechanism that was inserted into major conventional managerial systems as early as the 1950s and onward.
In the third time TOC Sprendimai hosted the TOCPA conference. The two intensive days were filled with sharing knowledge and experience, discussions and insights.
The pdf, video and photos will be soon on https://tocpractice.org/conferences/2017/04/10/in35th-ternational-tocpa-conference-9-10-november-2017-vilnius-lithuania/
The two days of the conference covered the wide variety of managerial areas and presented interesting cases of applying TOC for developing new services.
