Keywords:
Push System, Pull System, Inventory LevelsAbstract
This paper tries to find out whether firms should follow a push system or pull system and how their supplier chain works. Depending upon the nature of firm, it can be a mix of both the systems. This study gives an idea on aspects which offers best result to fit for firms and their trade. It also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of both the systems. This study also includes about the inventory levels suitable for each system.
