Producing just one can of soda involves a very long, multi-step process.  The manufacturing facility has several divisions, which produces or fulfills one-step in the production process.  One branch produces the soda, one branch produces the can, another step involves bottling the cans, and finally comes packaging and shipping the product.

 

First, the soda manufacturer must get the ingredients to make the soda.  The branch in charge of producing the soda uses the ingredients to make the soda according to their recipe.  A large volume of the soda is probably produced at on time.  It is cheaper and much easier to make a lot of it at once. 

 

The second branch needs sheet metal to make the cans.  Obviously, numerous machines are used to make the cans quickly.  Several cans will be made out of one sheet, allowing it to be more cost effective.  Depending on the manufacturer, this step could also include filling the cans with soda. 

 

Even though the production of a can of soda is a highly automated system, it needs human workers stationed at various locations to ensure that the process goes smoothly.  There needs to be the correct amount of interaction between the people and the machines.

Once a customer orders a book from the Borders website, the first reaction is a pull.  This first process is when the customer pulls the book from Borders.com.  It involves the customer, inputting which book(s) they want through the site.  Another process is when the information is sent to the warehouse in order to retrieve the book(s).  Unless there is an initial pull from the customer, Borders.com does not need to react or replenish anything in its inventory. 

 

On the other hand, the first process for the push phase occurs once the order for a book(s) is made.  Borders.com will push the products through the warehouse and into their shipping department, so it can be delivered to the customer on time.  Another process for this phase is when Boders.com needs to replace whatever it has sold.  In a push/pull system, inventory is only replenished when there is a pull from the end of the production process.  The inventory levels have been decided long ago.  It can be based on past sales history and volume, whether it is a “hot” product at the time, or if it has just been released. ! ; Many companies today are using automated inventory tracking systems.  Considering Border.com is such a large internet based company, they probably have a version of this system.  Using this technique makes it much easier to implement the push/pull system, because a computer program can monitor the pull phase from the end user and depending on that, it can initiate the push from the warehouse.  The program could also keep track of the inventory levels, and let the publishers know that a product is below Borders.com’s desired inventory.  EZEKIEL 25; 17. ; )
