Push

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described it can be said that the inventory control system that the employee supervises is known as a Push system. This type of system involves creating or ordering the necessary amount of stock that is needed based on calculations or predictions of what the near future demand is going to be. Which in this case is in regards to the factory resource demands.
