Pull logic manufacturing based on CIM to approach JIT

The authors describe a pull logic approach to JIT (just-in-time) by an improvement of MRP (material requirement planning) which is integrated into CIM (computer integrated manufacturing). Latest sales information and production plan information are reflected by CIM in the production control system, in order to realize timely production. This approach changes pull manufacturing from push manufacturing. The production control system, which was able to respond to changes of the market promptly in the manufacturing industry, is considered.<
