From Push to Pull: A New Supply Strategy Mindset for the Precision Machinery Industry
The Push-Pull Strategy originated in the field of supply chain management, first researched and articulated by several scholars in the late 1980s to early 1990s. Over time, it has become one of the key frameworks for understanding modern production and inventory management. For the precision machinery industry, characterized by high technological thresholds and complex processes, customer demand is often low in volume but high in variety, with frequent changes. As a result, the traditional model of mass production and centralized delivery is no longer sufficient to meet today9s market challenges.
