To Pull or Not to Pull: What Is the Question? [PDF]
Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, 2004 The terms pull and lean production have become cornerstones of modern manufacturing practice. However, although they are widely used, they are less widely understood. In this paper, we argue that while the academic literature has steadily revealed the richness of the pull/lean concepts, the practitioner literature has progressively simplified these ...
