They rechristened their business as a hamburger stand, and later turned the company into a franchise, with the Golden Arches logo being introduced in 1953 at a location in Phoenix, Arizona. In 1955, Ray Kroc, a businessman, joined the company as a franchise agent and proceeded to purchase the chain from the McDonald brothers.

CRITICAL COMPONENTS OF McDONALD’s SUPPLY CHAIN Analysis of the keychain Drivers:FacilitiesMcDonald’s operates efficient storage facility network, comprising centralized high-volume storage facilities with the capacity to cover supplies for around 200 restaurants. Although McDonald’s has outsourced the majority of its production, backwards vertical integration is still fragmentally present. Production is mainly performed by suppliers, with postponement of final assembling of sandwiches or roasting of potatoes in outlets.With regards to outlets, McDonald’s is similarly partly forward integrated, by running a limited number of own stores, whereas the majority of outlets is franchised.InventoryMcDonald’s applies 20 days’ rolling horizon with its suppliers, whereas stores are replenished 3 times per week with cycle inventory not exceeding 100 SKUs. Unique centralized stock management system allows tracking historical store sales, promotions. Since the introduction of the system in 2004, forecast horizon reduced to 1 week in comparison with several weeks to months before its introduction. Continuous replenishment allows keeping cycle inventories at a low level, and adhering to the high quality standards of deliveries.TransportationUnlike the facilities, transportation network of McDonald’s runs through agile pipeline, given the continuous replenishment practice. Given that perishables require certain temperature limits, on one hand, and on the other, considering the strict operational standards of the company. 3PLs operate McDonald’s cold chain with special temperature adapted trucks.InformationMcDonald’s has integrated its entire global chain through the enterprise resource planning. This has drastically increased the transparency and visibility throughout the chain, allowing for reduced demand uncertainty. ERP has also contributed to the reduction of inventories, thus improving the “speedy service” and quality of service. E -procurement system is unique due to the possibility to aggregate the global procurement activities, on one hand, and facilitating the job of franchisees, as the system allows purchasing a wide variety of items, from uniform to menu items. IT management is outsourced to Fujitsu, which allows McDonald’s focusing on its core activities.SourcingMcDonald’s outsources the majority of its activities to 3PLs, including supplies of burger ingredients as, well as items, ready for consumption, such as salads. Storage and transport network is also outsourced. Relationships with suppliers are based on long-term cooperation and trust, built throughout the years of cooperation. McDonald’s has been building the capacities of its suppliers throughout the years. An example is Keystone, main supplier of meat that has further on extended its capacity to cover also the chicken. In order to facilitate its global procurement operations, McDonald’s has deployed an e-procurement software, which allowed for the aggregation of its global procurements, thus achieving the economies of scale.PricingThe initial focus of McDonald’s was the quality and speed of its service at a reasonable price. However, with the emerging low-cost competition McDonald’s was forced to revise its pricing by dropping the prices of main menu products and focusing on the economies of scale in order to justify the quality-related costs.In relation with suppliers, McDonald’s rarely argues their pricing; instead its focus is on the total cost of the chain. The relations with suppliers are based on trust and long -term partnership, which adds significant flexibility and responsiveness to the chain management. The founder, Ray Kroc, has introduced the practice of “handshake deals”, which are agreements based on mutual trust, which were sealed by the power of a handshake.SUPPLY CHAIN SERVICES FOR McDONALD’s Cold Chain Logistics A cold chain is a temperature controlled supply chain. It is used to extend and ensure the shelf life of the products such as fresh agricultural produce, processed food.McDonald’s entire network supply chain consists of Movement of goods through a cold chain. An interesting and innovative feature of this supply chain is that the same truck can carry the products at different temperatures ranging from frozen products at -18C to-25C, chilled products from 1C to 4C, and dry products at ambient temperatures. McDonald’s spent a few years setting up a unique cold chain. They took around 4 years and and Rs 450 crores to set up the food supply chain even before opening its first restaurant. PUSH AND PULL PROCESSSUGGESTIONS:Due to the shift in consumer preferences towards healthier foods, McDonald’s has been going through per store sales decline. To address this strategy drift, the following practices, exercised by Starbucks, may be adopted by McDonald’s:• Improving of corporate image by introducing an entirely healthy menu or a differentiated menu that would target different consumer groups.• Acquisition of a brand, offering healthy menu. In this sense, McDonald’s has made a tremendous mistake by selling off its equity in Chipotle. It’s worth mentioning that McDonald’s has initially invested in the development of this chain of fast food restaurants, transferring its knowledge, thus building a new strong competitor.• Possible differentiation of distribution channels that would imply the development of CPGs through alliances or development of an e-channel.• Further improvement of customer experience and store ambiance.KEY LEARNINGSAccording to McDonald’s, it is creating long-term supply chain success based on a “System” where everyone wins. University of Tennessee researchers studied McDonald’s System as part of its research into what is known as the Vested business model. McDonald’s relationships with its suppliers embodies the Vested mindset of expanding the pie and sharing the pie. Suppliers that help McDonald’s succeed also succeed by building their own businesses. Both McDonald’s and its suppliers create value rather than simply exchanging value, as in conventional transaction-based relationships. McDonald’s deep-seated culture for long-term, win-win relationships with suppliers dates back to McDonald’s inception, established a precedent of trust and loyalty with its business partners. • Organizations are transforming into web-like supply chain rather than end-to-end supply chain. • McDonalds India was the pioneer in establishing the cold supply chain. They have operated efficiently to reduce wastage of the perishable products and supply fresh food on the table for the customer. • The E-mac procurement website allows 85% reduction in costs. This website is also faster and more convenient for franchisees. • With introduction of Internet protocol, McDonalds can track purchases, and offer customer loyalty programs. This helped in replacing old dial-up networking and better flow of information for efficient supply chain
