which type of approach to manufacturing tries to anticipate customer demand when deciding how much to produce and when

Push manufacturing.

Explanation:

Factors of production can be defined as the fundamental building blocks used by individuals or business firms for the manufacturing of finished goods and services in order to meet the unending needs and requirements of their customers.

In Economics, there are four (4) main factors of production and these are;

I. Land.

II. Labor (working).

III. Capital resources.

IV. Entrepreneurship.

When these aforementioned factors of production are combined effectively and efficiently, they can be used for the manufacturing or production of goods and services to meet the unending requirements or needs of the consumers.

In Economics, there are two types of inefficiency associated with the production of goods and services, these includes;

1. Allocative inefficiency: it occurs when businesses do not maximise output from the given inputs. Thus, it arises when businesses fail to increase the level of their production or productivity from a number of given inputs.

In conclusion, allocative inefficiency typically occurs when the price of a good or service isn't equal to its marginal cost i.e P ≠ MC.

2. Technical or productive inefficiency: it occurs when businesses produce goods and services that consumers do not want.​ This is typically as a result of the incorrect and inefficient allocation of scarce resources by a business firm or entity.

Push manufacturing is a type of approach to manufacturing that typically tries to anticipate customer demand when deciding how much to produce and when. Thus, its required that a manufacturer anticipate the demand of consumers when using the push manufacturing approach.
