Maintain one completed output in reserve after your constraint step (stock buffer) to decouple production cadence from delivery cadence when the constraint step has high variability.
Place most important committed work early in the week and early in the day so that end-of-week and end-of-day buffers can absorb delays without threatening highest-priority deliverables.
Track weekly buffer consumption rate—if consistently consuming more than 80% of buffer, increase buffer size; if consistently consuming less than 20%, buffer can be tightened.
