- Explain the fundamental principles of the push- and pull-manufacturing philosophies. Highlight the critical differences between these two philosophies, explaining why they are fundamentally incompatible. Describe the issues that can be expected to arise when implementing a pull solution in a push shop. Clearly explain why these issues can be expected, identify the specific roles in the organization that are likely to be the source of resistance, and explain the rationales likely to be used to support both sides of potential disagreements. Create an implementation plan that addresses each of the issues you have identified, thus maximizing the chances for the successful implementation of your push solution. Be sure to explicitly and clearly include and apply the organizational behavior, change management, and solution implementation guidelines and principles.arrow_forwardExplain what are the benefits of matching process capabilities to product requirements.arrow_forward"Home loan clients taking strain as average instalment rockets by 38% in a year, says Absa".
