    Production control system decides flow of work in organization depending upon pull or push system.

    Pull system: In this system, material is released for production only on customer's demand.

    Push system: In this system, material is released for production as soon as customer's orders are processed. Production is not based on actual demand.


    1) Just-In-Time

    - JIT is a pull type signaling system. In this system, production originates only when an order is received
    - The main principle of JIT is to produce when and what is needed. It also considers the quantity needed.
    - JIT (Just-In-Time) aims at eliminating wastage of labour, time and cost of excessive inventory.

    2) Kanban

    - Kanban is a pull type signaling system. In this system, material is released for production only on customer's demand.
    - Kanban system is suitable for lean production. According to this system, demand driven systems have faster turn around in production and have lower inventory levels.
