 Two main manufacturing control strategies exist: push and pull manufacturing.

Push manufacturing is characterized by manufacturing to forecast, and emphasizes on batch processing and lot sizes.
Each area runs at maximum capacity, and the material is pushed downstream.
Push planning methods include MRP, reorder points, and optimum order quantities.

Pull manufacturing is a visual replenishment of goods, where only is produced what is demanded by the next work center.
It got its start in America in the grocery business. Only products consumed by the customer where replaced on the shelves.
The most important pull planning methods are based on visual signals.

The main difference between push and pull is the direction in which the information flows.
In the push system, information flows in the same direction as production, whereas in the pull system, information flows in the opposite direction.
