JIT to explain it briefly means producing the right item at the right time and in the right quantity. Toyota introduced the JIT approach in 1950 when the company was facing tough competition, high capital investment, rapid changes in the automotive market in terms of price value and technology. The primary need to introduce JIT in Toyota is to control the overproduction that is occurring. The Toyota workshop produces items independently of market demand conventionally following the PUSH system which is subsequently replaced by the TPS PULL system. The other main reason to introduce JIT is to track the order and status of INVENTORY, which was the main problem in Toyota workshop. 2) Pickup Kanban: This Kanban reserves inventory strategy information at the customer or downstream level. These two Kanban details are coordinated at the supplier where production and collection are cross-referenced together. At Kanban we only produce items that are collected by the customer from the supplier and will never ship defective items to customers. The Kanban system requires only one type of production schedule. The conventional push system requires planning and reprogramming of the production process. By applying the LEAN PULL system it is possible to avoid the need to reorganize the planning at any time. The most important advantage of Kanban is that this visual tool makes the transparency of production visible and is of great help. Kanban was a system that synchronized the production process with customer demand. There are 6 basic rules of KANBAN, namely: Never ship the faulty or faulty items to
