Pelican implemented a "virtual" pull system by integrating their lean strategy with data from their ERP system. They needed to "right-size" and maintain supermarket sizes as demand changed, and to select appropriate techniques for signaling replenishment. You will learn how Pelican automated the maintenance of these techniques based on data from their ERP system. This presentation will cover the type of data available and how to harvest it to maintain optimal supermarket sizes, how to evaluate the effects of management policies on your ability to implement and maintain an effective pull system, and how to choose from either manual or automated pull techniques and under which conditions each is most effective.
