AB  - Recently, it has been recognized that production control systems
for multi‐stage manufacturing processes can be classified into push‐type
and pull‐type systems. The push‐type systems are commonly defined as
those types of materials requirements planning system which utilize the
forecast of demands. The pull‐type systems, on the other hand, are those
where order quantities are determined on the basis of real demand.
Describes a hybrid push/pull production control system, operated
periodically, which combines the benefits of both systems. Discusses
theoretical arguments in support of this system and numerical studies
are shown to give insight into the system′s performance. Hybrid
push/pull‐type systems can attain a higher degree of effectiveness if
they are appropriately operated.
