3️⃣ PULL SYSTEMS
In the Toyota Way, “pull” means the ideal state of
just-in-time manufacturing

Giving the customers...

What They
Want
When They
Want It
In the Amount
They Want
KAIZEN MADE EASY
3️⃣ PULL SYSTEMS
Because there are natural breaks in flow in the
process of transforming raw materials into
finished products delivered to customers....

some inventory is usually necessary.

3️⃣ PULL SYSTEMS
The PaceMaker

In Toyota, the ideal is to establish a production


schedule in one place — the Pace Maker — and
let that operation pull parts to it based on kanban

which gives the scheduling power to each


customer to place orders based on actual need.

3️⃣ PULL SYSTEMS
KANBAN

One of the major benefits of kanban is that it


forces improvement in your production system.

The challenge is to
develop a learning
organization that will
find ways to reduce the
number of kanban and
thereby reduce and
finally eliminate the
inventory buffer.

KAIZEN MADE EASY


The more inventory a company
has. . .

the less likely they will have what


they need.
