Inventory control through a CONWIP pull production system
Production systems such as the CONWIP (constant work-in-process) pull production system have been widely studied by researchers to date. The CONWIP pull production system is an alternative to pure push and pure pull systems that lowers and controls inventory levels and reduces production lead time. …

Implementing pull production within an aerospace assembly operation
… at multiple points in the process, to a pull system driven by a bin size or finished goods supermarket. Some of the key issues addressed include system design for highly variable processes, experimentation with various forms of Kanban, and the use of value stream mapping as a change …

Synchronous manufacturing : implementing "pull" production in a job shop environment
… costs. Migrating from the traditional push production to the concept of pull production, it is projected that inventory and operating expense will reduce significantly as pull will help to synchronize production efforts. There are different ways to approach the implementation of pull. …

The Effect of Advance Demand Information on a Pull Production System with Two Customer Classes
… the firm to reduce the chances of order loss. A production control approach for restrictive early fulfillment is discussed and the factors that may affect the early fulfillment policy are examined.

Time-Based Manufacturing System Design for Softwood Lumber Production
… research project also investigated the use of pull production at the softwood lumber manufacturing operation. Effective implementation of pull production would require improving headrig optimization programs, presorting material by grade before drying, little or no drying degrade, and reducing …

Demand bubbles and phantom orders in supply chains
Essay One The Impact of Shortages on Push-Pull Production Systems This paper explores the impact of endogenous customer demand on supply chain instability. It investigates how a semiconductor manufacturer's hybrid push-pull production system responds to customer demand, when inventory availability …

Control of WIP and reduction of lead time in a food packaging company
… control better the WIP. We propose to split the production line into dedicated lines, to change the push production system to a pull production system, and to align the process times to the takt time. A simulation model of the proposed production line was analyzed and was verified by a simulation …

Operational streamlining in a high-throughput genome sequencing center
… based on took place primarily in this automated production area. This thesis utilizes a number of lean concepts, including the 7 Wastes and pull production control.

Definition and implementation of a visual inventory management system
… necessary inventory levels, and defining a pull system, and 3) creating an environment where people are included in the change process and educated in the principles upon which the visual inventory management system is based. The framework proposed enabled a pull production system to be …

Determining Kanban Size Using Mathematical Programming and Discrete Event Simulation for a Manufacturing System with Large Production Variability
… can be improved is via the use of kanbans in a pull production system. Kanbans refer to a card or signal for productions scheduling within just-in-time (JIT) production systems to signal where and what to produce, when to produce it, and how much. A Kanban based JIT production system has been …

Computer-Simulation-Assisted Lean Manufacturing Training
… simulation models demonstrating the push and pull production scenarios were constructed using ProModel software. Simulation models were equipped with a Visual Basic interface to aid trainees to manipulate the model via ActiveX. Constructed computer simulation was compared with live simulation …
