    does this mean that if a company follows a demand pull based system
    zero inventory will be maintained always ?

    secondly
    a demand pull based system means that the time a customer makes an order
    the labor team manufactures in such a way that the WIP should not be maintained for the production the customer requested for ..

    sir if this statement is correct
    ” if a company follows a demand pull based system
    zero inventory of finished goods will be maintained always ”

    then is the following idea incorrect ?

    ” if a company follows a demand pull based system

    Could you please explain this with an example

    There will be work in progress during the time it takes to make the order.

    If it takes them a month to produce the goods from start to finish then by definition there is work-in-progress during that month.

    However, one feature of demand-pull production is attempting to keep the production time (and therefore the work-in-progress) to a minimum.

    Why are you asking this in the Paper FM forum? It is not relevant for Paper FM.
