Abstract

This article focuses on theoretically analyzing how the implementation of Just in Time (JIT) and Kanban methodologies can help optimize the supply chain, improving both internal processes and the overall efficiency of companies. Through a review of the literature, the benefits are highlighted, such as the reduction of inventories, a better response to demand and the reduction of operating costs. It also discusses the challenges that many organizations face in adopting these methodologies, such as the need to make cultural adjustments and overcome resistance to change. The study is based on the compilation of scientific articles through databases such as Scopus and bibliometric verification and analysis through VOSviewer, which made it possible to identify studies where these methodologies have improved efficiency in sectors such as the automotive industry and pharmaceutical logistics. Likewise, it is evident that JIT and Kanban can better synchronize production with demand, optimize resources and eliminate bottlenecks. However, its success depends on a correct adaptation to the particularities of each company or sector.
