in this sense, pull is defined in a complete different way. Here pull means reaction to a customer order driven MPS but not the control-logic on the shop floor. As mentioned before the pull concept has been transferred from the manufacturing into the broader logistics context. there, for example the notion of pull/pull is used to explain the main fortunes of the postponement vs speculation strategy in conjunction with supply chain integration. But it remains questionable if it is really all pull or push what is proposed in these logistics concepts.
