First of all, some definitions…

25. European Students of Industrial Engineering and Management
www.estiem.org
What is the difference between
push and pull production?
25
26. European Students of Industrial Engineering and Management
www.estiem.org
Push = production is done towards the
individual targets (production plan),
can be produced to stock
Pull = production is started only when the
next process step demands a product
26
27. European Students of Industrial Engineering and Management
www.estiem.org
What are the problems with
the push production?
27
28. European Students of Industrial Engineering and Management
www.estiem.org
Push production can lead to waste by …
• Excess inventory (e.g. tied working
capital, inventory costs…)
• Hides inefficiencies in the process
• Increases the detection time of defects
• … … … …
28
29. European Students of Industrial Engineering and Management
www.estiem.org
The optimal state is often referred to as
having a good ”flow”.
What do we mean by the ”flow”
in a production line?
29
30. European Students of Industrial Engineering and Management
www.estiem.org
Flow = how the work progresses in the
process
Good flow = work progresses steadily
and predictably through the process
30
31. European Students of Industrial Engineering and Management
www.estiem.org
What do we mean by takt time?
31
32. European Students of Industrial Engineering and Management
www.estiem.org
Takt time = customer order rate, i.e.
(available time) / (number of orders)
32
33. European Students of Industrial Engineering and Management
www.estiem.org
What is the difference between lead time
and cycle time?
33
34. European Students of Industrial Engineering and Management
www.estiem.org
Throughput time = the time it takes to go
through the production
Cycle time = the time taken by one process step
