Abstract

The study develops a hybrid inventory management model, which can be used to synchronize the supply of critical purchased components with the output rate of the end product manufactured to the level production strategy. The model combines the demand driven delivery of a “pull” strategy with forecasting techniques used by “push” systems. It consists of a “Pull Signal” (PS) and two cost effectiveness formulas (CEFs).
