ADVANTAGES OF HYBRID PUSH-PULL STRATEGIES FOR PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL

Krasen Dimitrov

The global industry is currently undergoing a transformation influenced by a number of key factors: new technologies, new products, new demand characteristics and the drive towards digital transformation. This modern industrial environment necessitates the need for adaptive and sustainable manufacturing management strategies.

The papers reviewed in this publication provide a detailed examination of manufacturing control systems, with a particular focus on pull strategies and hybrid push and pull strategies. These strategies are analyzed in the context of their application in different manufacturing environments to reveal the potential for increasing efficiency and reducing work-in-process inventories.

Frameworks for classifying and analyzing systems are discussed as a starting point for evaluating and selecting an appropriate manufacturing process management system. Attention is also given to approaches that support the configuration of manufacturing management and control systems, which provides valuable insights for manufacturing optimization.

The benefits of integrating Industry 4.0 technologies with lean manufacturing principles, such as rational use of resources through improved data visibility and real-time analytics, into the overall operations management system are presented, further positively impacting manufacturing performance.
