[2] Pull System means that parts are produced to order and the production is matched with demand for the final assembly of products.

[3] In Make to order production system, there is a direct interaction with customers during all the stages but it is expensive during engineering phase.

Characteristics of Pull (Make to Order) Manufacturing System:

[1] Direct interaction with customers

[2] Production schedule changes with changes in customer order

[3] Capacityutilization is lower

[4] Capacity requirements planning are critical

[5] Shop floor control is critical

[6] Distribution is less complicated
