All About Pull Production is a detailed and practical guide on how to implement pull systems. It values functionality over theory, but also explains the underlying relations. It is not a high-level philosophical discussion of lean, but a book to help you roll up your sleeves and get the job done. It is written for the practitioner. It also serves as a useful reference for students and researchers of lean manufacturing. The book has received the prestigious Shingo Publication Award on October 2022.
