Abstract
In this paper, JIT (Just-In-Time)-KANBAN literature survey was carried out and presented. The introductory section deals with the philosophy of JIT, and the concept involved in the push and pull system. The blocking mechanisms in the kanban system are also discussed elaborately. Besides these sections, the importance of measure of performance (MOP) and the application of the same with respect to JIT-KANBAN are presented. The recent trends in the JIT-KANBAN are discussed under the heading “Special cases”. In this review, 100 state-of-art research papers have been surveyed. The directions for the future works are also presented.
