The success of gummi bears has spawned the production of many other gummy candies that look like animals and other objects: rings, worms, frogs, snakes, hamburgers, cherries, sharks, penguins, hippos, lobsters, octopuses, apples, peaches, oranges, and even AmpelmÃ¤nnchen, Smurfs, and spiders.
The business terms push and pull originated in logistic and supply chain management, but are also widely used in marketing. Wal-Mart is an example of a company that uses the push vs. pull strategy. A pushâpull system in business describes the movement of a product or information between two subjects.
Of all the views of push and pull, this one is at least partially correct. A well-implemented kanban system (i.e., not just a plant where every paper is miraculously called âkanbanâ) is indeed a pull system. However, it is not the only possible way to create a pull system. You could also use, for example, CONWIP.
