The push system is a Six Sigma tool used for production management where goods are manufactured based on forecasted demand. In this system, production schedules are determined in advance, and products are “pushed” through the manufacturing process and into inventory, regardless of current demand. While it can ensure inventory availability, it often leads to overproduction, excess inventory, and wasted resources. Six Sigma aims to identify and reduce these inefficiencies by transitioning to a pull system, which produces goods based on actual demand, thereby minimizing waste, improving process efficiency, and aligning production closely with customer needs.
