In recent years, with extensive use of QR, academic research of Quick Response is also increasing. In this paper, we review the research on the Quick Response, and conclud and comment the research methods, content, status and progress of these researches; especially from the perspective of quantitative analysis and model constructing, we discuss the classical model of Quick Response, Quick Response in competitive environment and Quick Response with considering the customer behavior in depth, including the inventory, pricing and allocation decisions; Finally, we talk about the direction of future research.
