The article considers such pull systems of the material flow movement between the manufacturing departments as the replenishment pull system and the limited queuing system FIFO (First In, First Out). We have conducted a comparative analysis of the production pull systems through the example of the production department for manufacturing the car doors at the enterprise ZAO “Renault Russia”. The work demonstrates the application of one of the main lean manufacturing tools – value stream mapping, targeted at detecting and eliminating losses in the production process. The authors have developed a map of the current state of value creation flow and identified the fundamental losses and weaknesses. Based on the analysis of the detected imperfections we have created a map of the future state of value creation flow.
