In project scheduling or batch supply chain operations, a positive (negative) feeding buffer is created by starting an activity before (after) its expected latest start time. Positive feeding buffers provide protection against project tardiness. Assuming linear costs for starting activities earlier and a linear project tardiness penalty, early optimization models for project buffers addressed particular project network structures. By these models it can be shown that when the gating activities precede the only stochastic elements in a project, then there exists an exact generalization of the newsvendor optimal result that characterizes the optimal feeding buffers: the marginal cost of a buffer should match its criticality. This insight is a...
