Study Notes
Push vs. Pull Systems
- Push System: Production is based on predicted market demand. Goods are scheduled and produced according to a plan, then "pushed" to the market.
- Pull System: Production is triggered by consumer demand. The need for a good initiates its production.
- Digital Pull System: Ideal production system in a digital environment. It uses lean principles and is optimized by digital tools to create a more efficient pull system.
Key Differences
- Initiation: Push systems initiate production based on forecasts, pull systems based on real demand.
- Flexibility: Pull systems are generally more flexible as production reacts to actual orders. Push systems are less flexible because of the pre-planned production schedule.
