Companies today must respond quickly and cost-effectively to changing market conditions and produce customized products instead of mass-produced items. Their future depends on their ability to focus more on the customer. Flexibility and speed are the key factors for the success of production companies. To achieve this, tools are needed to align production with customer needs. The pull principle is one such tool for implementing customer-oriented production. Not every company is prepared to introduce the pull principle at its current stage of supply chain development. Against this backdrop, this book develops an assessment tool to determine whether a company is suitable for implementing the pull principle and thus aligning production with customer demand. This allows you to assess whether your company is equipped to survive in a highly competitive market.
