Production Planning in the Pull System
Why attend this workshop?
Information stir directly influences the development of wastage in companies. Often information is not very precise, does not reach the correct places or reach their recipients too late. The effects of such situations are:
- excess reserves,
- unplanned production line standstills,
- problems with resource management (human resources, productivity,
raw materials and components),
- expensive special transport.
