A method for managing a buffer storage and load sequencing system. The system receives non-sequenced loads and provides at least one sequence of loads, and includes a buffer storage unit having entrance levels, at least one recirculation level, an entrance elevator facing entrances and an exit elevator facing exits of the levels. A management unit iteratively manages the entrance elevator. At each iteration the entrance elevator: has a “waiting for recirculation” status for a load to be recirculated in the system; holds this elevator until the load to be recirculated has been transferred to the recirculation level, else selects a load at exit from an entrance conveyor or at exit from the recirculation level; if the selection of the entrance level is completed, generates a task, for the entrance elevator, of transferring the selected load to the selected level; if not assigns this load the “awaiting recirculation” status.
