The point of controlling the execution is not to gather data for comparison between the actual state and the planning. Such a mechanism processes and stores huge amounts of data and the ability of the manager to draw a clear conclusion is diminished. An effective control system should provide a reactive mechanism to handle uncertainty by monitoring information that points to a threatening situation then recommends taking corrective actions accordingly. If an order was supposed to be processed on Wednesday and was actually processed on Friday, this is probably only one small detail that adds nothing to the execution of the planning.
It focuses on those incidents where most of the buffer has been used and then gives the almost late orders high priority, which can be translated to expediting. Of course, expediting should be done only sparingly, otherwise it has no Erp tools, techniques, and applications for integrating the supply chain 26 value. Let us illustrate the Buffer Management activity. Suppose an order is due on 2/28. The materials are released on 2/14, assuming an average lead-time of a week and a maximum of 2 weeks considering the uncertainty.
The protection is dependent on the time allowed for a batch of parts to go through a sequence of operations (maybe through several levels in the bill of material [BOM]). Since the time estimate contains safety time, some in-process inventory is accumulated in the queue of the CCR. In order to support the proper flexibility of the nonconstraint resources, no material is allowed to be released to the floor prior to the time determined by the Drum minus the buffer time. This is called the Rope—a mechanism that guards that no materials will be released before the scheduled time (which already considers the amount of uncertainty).
