Pull system is one of lean manufacturing tools. This system is a method of regulating the flow of goods inside the factory and from outside suppliers or customer. The system is based on automatic replenishment through signal cards that indicate when the goods or parts are needed. Currently in Autokeen Sdn. Bhd., the manufacturing process is based on the daily requirement output schedule. The production line only produced goods according to the schedule. As a result, overproduction of the goods

The tarnished goods need to be reworked before shipping to the customer. This study is to improve the worksite controls for pull system by investigating the current condition and efficiency of pull system. Then improvement plans have been proposed which suitable for the pull system to be implemented. As a result, this system will avoid overproduction, minimize the inventory and reduce rework process. Thus, all of these improvements will definitely reduce waste. Furthermore, the manufacturing cost will be decreased and the manufacturing processes become more efficient.
