N2 - Just-in-time (JIT) is a systems approach to developing and operating a manufacturing system. JIT is to convey the idea that three major elements of manufacturing, namely capital, equipment, and labour are made available only in the amount required and at the time required to do the job. The JIT combines with the total quality management in many industries being very successful in reducing the waste and increasing the productivity and quality. Realising the success of JIT manufacturing systems, the available literature on modelling and analysis of JIT systems are assessed critically for further improvement of modelling and analysis of JIT manufacturing systems. in addition, deficiencies of the available literature for achieving the JIT benefits and future research problems to overcome these drawbacks are also presented.
