Application of Push$-$Pull and Cycle Processes in Organizational Products or Services:

$1.$ Select a product or service from your organization.

$2.$ Describe the end$-$to$-$end process of how this product or service reaches the customer. Ensure that you:

$3.$ Map the push$-$pull boundary: Identify where the forecast$-$driven processes $($push$)$ end and where the customer demand$-$driven processes $($pull$)$ begin.

$4.$ Outline the cycle processes: Break down the operations into specific cycles $($e$.$g$.,$ sourcing, production, delivery$).$ Include any key partners, suppliers, or logistics services involved at each cycle.

Analysis:

$1.$ Explain how effectively your organization manages the push$-$pull boundary. Are there any opportunities for better alignment between the two to optimize supply chain efficiency?

$2.$ Evaluate how well each cycle process is managed. Are there any bottlenecks, inefficiencies, or risks? Provide recommendations for improvement.
