April's Professional Development Meeting (PDM)
“Push vs. Pull: What's it Really Worth?”
Presented by, Joyce Lewis, MAEd, CPIM, CSCP, C.P.M.,
Wednesday, April 15, 2015
(Click for more information)
The Topic: “Push vs. Pull: What's it Really Worth?”
As Supply Chain professionals, we've often encountered the decision to employ either a push or pull (or both!) method when designing replenishment strategies in a manufacturing environment. According to the APICS Operations Management Body of Knowledge Framework (OMBOK), Third Edition, a push system is characterized by producing items on a schedule in advance of customer need. The use of a pull system is one of the five principles of Lean and is employed when items are produced only when demanded for use by a customer or to replace items taken for use.
So, what does a transition from a push to a pull strategy REALLY look like in a manufacturing environment? Can you visual the change in inventory levels throughout the supply chain? What's the immediate financial impact when transitioning to a one piece flow model (even if you're not producing "one piece" at a time)? What's the change really worth?

Who should attend ?
Professionals in all areas and levels of supply chain, manufacturing, and operations
management as well as strategic and tactical managers involved in product development
will benefit from this presentation.
