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 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.
