Sažetak
In numerous technical and scientific publications, cencerning areas of manufacturing and logistics, the terms "push" and "pull" are commonly used to characterise particular concepts of system configuration and coordination. But these publications frequently do not present push- and pull-concepts in a clear way, because they do not explicitly distinguish what is really meant by these terms. So it often occurs to the confused reader that some publications describe certain manufacturing or logistics contexts as a "pull"-system while other authors state the oposite. As there is no common sense of what these term really mean, it is difficult to make clear statements in the scientific discussion. To shed some light on this problem, the aim of this paper is to develop a simple framework in order to classify the alternative kinds of understanding of push- and pull-concepts in the configuration and coordination of manufacturing systems or logistic chains, also known as supply chains. This framework will help to define the conceptual basis of push- and pull- concepts in the scientific discussion more clearly.
