VARGAS-SANCHEZ, Jhon Jairo; JIMENEZ-GARCIA, Francy Nelly; TORO-GALVIS, Juana María  e  RODRIGUEZ-GARCIA, Yeidy Alejandra. Comparing Push and Pull Manufacturing Systems via Simulation. Cienc. Ing. Neogranad. [online]. 2019, vol.29, n.1, pp.81-93. ISSN 0124-8170.  https://doi.org/10.18359/rcin.3075.

This paper reveals the results using simulations in manufacturing processes to foster decision-making processes in companies aimed at facing changing production models. This paper aims to present a simulation methodology for improving corporate production processes, which comprises examining current production process, collecting process data and modeling, and simulating both the current push system and the proposed pull system. The results determined that the pull model, supported by partial outsourcing, significantly improves the production process of the company. However, one of the limitations affecting this type of study is that sufficient information must be collected from the process. Additionally, using results for decision-making requires exhaustive exploration of the different model possibilities. Nevertheless, this work provided the company with different production process management options, along with their corresponding benefits in terms of economy and efficiency.
