Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pull approach starts with a customer placing an order, and the manufacturing process is initiated based on that order. This approach aims to eliminate excess inventory and minimize waste, as production occurs only when there is demand for the product. Therefore, options A and B, which involve storing components or finished products without a confirmed customer order, are not part of the pull approach.
