监控缓冲区并使之最小。缓冲区会增加缺陷和成本
Tenet 10: Monitor and minimize the size ofbuffers. Buffers increase defects and cost.
准则10：监控缓冲区并使之最小。缓冲区会增加缺陷和成本
a) Whatis a buffer? Why do we use them?
1. Abuffer is a planned amount of work between two processes. It is used to absorbthe effects of variation that have not yet been eliminated.
2. Iftwo processes aren’t in sync, the buffer is used to absorb the difference.
a) 什么是缓冲区？我们为什么要使用它们？
1．缓冲区是两个工序间的计划工作量。它用来缓冲尚未被消除的差异造成的影响。
2．如果这两个工序是不同步的，缓冲区被用来缓冲差异。
b) Whatare some examples of buffers in your area? What are the buffer standards inyour area (min and max size)?
1. Responsesmay vary.
b) 有什么在你工作区域里的缓冲区的例子？缓冲区的标准是什么（最小/最大量）？
1．可能有不同回答
c) Whatneeds to happen to minimize the size of the buffers?
1. Variationhas to be decreased.
c) 需要做什么以尽量减小缓冲区的大小？
1．必需缩小差异
d) What’sthe difference between a buffer and a pile?
1. Abuffer is a planned and actively managed amount of work. A pile is created when there are exceptions tothe normal process path.
d) 缓冲区和堆积之间的区别是什么？
1. 缓冲区是一个有计划，有主动管理的工作量。而堆积是当有正常流程的例外时产生的
