Consider a three sequentially stepped process named as Process A, Process B and Process C. Input comes into Process A. Output form A goes into Process B. Output from B goes into Process C. Output of C is the final output. Suppose that it takes 2 minutes per unit in Process A, 3 minutes per unit in Process B and 1 minute per unit in Process C. Suppose further that Process A receives input at the rate of 30 per hour. Where would you place a buffer?

Answer:B the buffer will be placed in process B

Explanation:

Buffer is the extra time added to a time estimate to keep a project on track. Since process B takes a longer time to process, the buffer will be added to prevent unforseen situations.
