Abstract: A method for computer-aided pulled-flow production management including constructing a nomenclature as a numerical table including information relative to links between a finished product and components composing the finished product, constructing a numerical table pertaining to parameters of each of the components, and determining the number of product requirements including constructing a numerical table of calendar requirements over a period of time, wherein each component for the components whose descriptor has a kanban step is associated with a numerical table including counter descriptors counter C0 in which is recorded a state of a number of kanban in circulation with a preceding calculation of requirements, counter C1 in which is recorded a state of a total number of kanban after a last calculation of the requirements, counter C2 in which is recorded a state of a number of kanban available in stock, pending counter C3 in which is recorded a state of a number of pending kanban and not transmitted to co
