  2. CONWIP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CONWIP

    Such systems can be classified as pull and push systems (Spearman et al. 1990 [1]). In a push system, the production order is scheduled, and the material is pushed into the production line. In a pull system, the start of each product assembly process is triggered by the completion of another at the end of production line. This pull-variant is ...

  3. Push–pull strategy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pushpull_strategy

    The original meaning of push and pull, as used in operations management, logistics and supply chain management. In the pull system production orders begin upon inventory reaching a certain level, while on the push system production begins based on demand (forecasted or actual demand). The CONWIP is a hybrid between a pure push and pure pull system.

  9. Drawing (manufacturing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawing_(manufacturing)

    Diagram of bar drawing; the workpiece is pulled from left (tension) rather than pushed from the right (compression). Drawing is a manufacturing process that uses tensile forces to elongate metal, glass, or plastic. As the material is drawn (pulled), it stretches and becomes thinner, achieving a desired shape and thickness.
