Documentation

Definition

Buffer used in the kanban calculation to compensate for inexactitudes in the requirement information. The percentage value specified here acts as a requirement buffer.

Use

Dependencies

You can specify the requirement buffer in the calculation profile or in control cycle maintenance. The requirement buffer maintained in a control cycle overrides one specified in the calculation profile.

Example

The consumer (demand source) sends preview information about its expected consumption situation to the supplier (supply source). This advance information is frequently inexact. This inexactitude in the requirement values can be specified here as a percentage.
