Comparing Push and Pull Manufacturing Systems via Simulation
Abstract
This paper reveals the results using simulations in manufacturing processes to foster decision-making processes in companies aimed at facing changing production models. This paper aims
to present a simulation methodology for improving corporate production processes, which comprises examining current production process, collecting process data and modeling, and simulating
both the current push system and the proposed pull system. The results determined that the pull
model, supported by partial outsourcing, signifcantly improves the production process of the company. However, one of the limitations affecting this type of study is that sufcient information must
be collected from the process. Additionally, using results for decision-making requires exhaustive
exploration of the different model possibilities. Nevertheless, this work provided the company with
different production process management options, along with their corresponding benefts in terms
of economy and efciency.
