  A push system is the production or performance of any item or activity performed at required times by a given schedule that has been planned in advance.  Many push systems are built mainly to forecast.  Push systems can also include issuing material or performing an activity based on a schedule rather than need.  Push systems create excess inventory which is one of the 8 forms of waste.  

Examples:

• MRP Systems.
• Building to Schedules.
