• Description: Time measured as the remaining time between the start and end date of an order once the total duration of the order has been subtracted. The Component Maintenance Cockpit CMC can distribute buffer between all work centers involved in an order, ensuring that each work center is assigned a part for a period equal to work time plus a share of the total buffer time. The CMC shows the buffer value for consecutive ordre operations for a work center. It also uses this value to calculate the earliest and latest scenarios for the order operations. The CMC recalculates and redistributes the total buffer depending on the selected processing mode each time you start the CMC or press the 'Refresh' button.
