👉 Pulled engineering, also known as pull-based or demand-driven manufacturing, is a production strategy where the demand from customers or the market directly influences the production process. Unlike traditional push systems, which rely on forecasts to dictate production schedules and inventory levels, pulled engineering focuses on producing goods only when there is an actual demand. This approach minimizes waste, reduces inventory costs, and increases efficiency by aligning production closely with real-time customer needs. Techniques such as Just-In-Time (JIT) manufacturing and Kanban systems are commonly used to implement pulled engineering, ensuring that resources are utilized optimally and production is responsive to market dynamics.
