Pull Systems

Pull systems are production methods where work is initiated based on actual downstream demand rather than forecasted requirements. In practice, workers produce items only when the next process signals a need, often using visual signals like kanban cards or empty containers to trigger production. This approach reduces inventory levels, minimizes overproduction waste, and improves workflow efficiency by aligning manufacturing output directly with customer demand.

Pull Systems sits under Lean Manufacturing and Continuous Improvement in the Manufacturing and Production domain of the Luminid skills catalogue.
