Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A pull system is a supply chain model that produces goods or services in response to actual customer demand signals received from downstream in the supply chain. In a pull system, no excess inventory is produced, and manufacturers only produce what is needed at upstream stages in the supply chain, making it a lean and efficient way of managing inventory.
