Buffer inventory, also called buffer stock or safety stock, is a cushion of supply in excess of forecast demand.

Buffer inventory is used to reduce the incidence or severity of stock-out situations in sales and thus provide better customer service. It's also used in production or other inventory situations to ensure unexpected demands can be met with some degree of certainty

What are some common buffer problems and how can they be resolved effectively?

Common buffer problems include pH shifts, buffer capacity limitations, and precipitation of buffer components. These issues can be resolved effectively by adjusting the ratio of acid to base components in the buffer, increasing the concentration of buffer components, or using a different buffer system altogether. Regular monitoring and maintenance of buffer solutions can also help prevent these problems.

Effect of Diluting a buffer?

The buffer capacity increases as the concentration of the buffer solution increases and is a maximum when the pH is equal to the same value as the pKa of the weak acid in the buffer. A buffer solution is a good buffer in the pH range that is + or - 1 pH unit of the pKa. Beyond that, buffering capacity is minimal.
