In a "pull" production system, the final process pulls needed parts
from the previous process, which pulls from the process before it,
and so on, as determined by customer demand. This allows you to
operate without preset schedules and avoid unnecessary costs,
wastes, and delays on the manufacturing floor.
"Pull Production for the Shopfloor" introduces production teams
and managers to basic pull production concepts, enabling them to
begin understanding, planning, and implementing this lean tool. Use
this book to get everyone on board to reduce work in process
inventory, lead-time, and other profit-draining expenses. This book
will enable plant managers to explain and thereby get support the
support they need from higher management for their pull
implementation efforts.

- Key concepts and applications of pull production
