About this Presentation
The discussion is on feeding buffers in critical chain (CC). Fever charts for project buffers are useful though there is not much emphasis on feeding buffers today. We don't seem to use the information derived from them. It depends on the environment: in maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) it is like manufacturing so we ignore the feeding buffer. In research and development (R&D) we watch the feeding buffer closely. Feeding buffers set priorities for tasks and insure full kitting is available when needed on the critical chain.

Daniel P. Walsh
Daniel Walsh is a sought-after lecturer, coach, strategic thinker and is a trusted advisor to many senior corporate executives, is currently a member of numerous corporate boards. In addition, he is co-founder of Exepron©, an advanced EPPM SaaS solution based on Critical Chain methodology. His current efforts are focusing on developing synchronous enterprise value chain solutions in multiple industry sectors. His research and development are centered on identifying the need to identify and leverage the strategic constraints of the enterprise, which is the key to increasing throughput. This culminated in the development of the Integrated Enterprise Scheduling®, (IES®) solution engine. Initial empirical results from deploying the IES® in a dozen large companies over a five-year period have been very promising. Many executives and thought leaders are convinced this may very well be the unified scheduling solution required for maximizing the profit of an enterprise-wide value chain. The IES approach was chronicled when he co-authored The TOC Handbook, the seminal Theory of Constraints reference textbook.
