bufferpunt
Bufferpunt, literally “buffer point” in Dutch, is a term used to designate a mode or location within a system where work, data, or inventory is temporarily held to absorb variability in flow. The concept emphasizes decoupling adjacent processes so fluctuations in input do not propagate downstream. The word combines buffer with punt (point) and is used across industries in Dutch-language contexts; in English-language writing the term may be translated as buffer point, buffering point, or buffering node.
