Slash lead times, free trapped cash, and stop the chaos of push production with a pull production system designed for the real world, not the textbook.

If late shipments, runaway work in process, and constant expediting have become normal in your plant, this guide gives you a step-by-step blueprint to change that. Pull Production Systems Design and Implementation by Gerald T. Harmon is a practical, no-theory manual for manufacturing professionals, production managers, and continuous improvement engineers who need results, not jargon.

You will learn how to select the right pull strategy for your environment, whether Kanban, CONWIP, POLCA, or a hybrid approach. Detailed walkthroughs cover every phase: mapping your current state, calculating WIP caps and supermarket sizes, running a successful pilot, training operators, and scaling the system plant-wide. The book also covers e-Kanban and digital pull integration with ERP and MES, including how AI and Industry 4.0 can sharpen your demand signals without breaking lean discipline.

What makes this book different is its focus on long-term results. You will not just launch a system. You will also learn the daily habits, leadership routines, monthly audits, and troubleshooting responses that keep your lean manufacturing pull system healthy for years. A dedicated chapter addresses the top ten failures, including card shortages and WIP explosions, providing a rapid-response reference whenever the flow stops.

This book is a practical operations management resource for job shops, high mix low volume environments, custom manufacturing, and industrial engineering teams. It is also a reliable reference for professionals involved in supply chain management, inventory control, and quality management.

If you are ready to build a factory floor that runs with predictable efficiency, secure your copy of Pull Production Systems Design and Implementation today.
