organize well. Mc Donald have implement the JIT system for the company in a
worldwide . The just in time applied helped in reducing down on inventory
levels and wastages.
Before
this, Mc Donald’s strategy was to pre cook all the burger and place them under
the lamps to keeps them hot . For example, we can saw this all the time before
the fully implementation of JIT occur. Nowadays, the strategy wa totally to
Just in Time approach. This method had been hired to quickly prepare all the
menu and the employeers must had a good training. The strategy
called “Made for You” . This approach to ensure to the first complete
kitchen changeover, smooter, faster, amd more flexible kicthen system .
There are
lots of advantages for the implementation of “Made for You” system .
Firstly, improving the quality of the outputs which is the product. For example,
the traditional approach just make keeps the burger under the lamps but
the “Made for You” approach make the burger condition are
prepared freshly . This would increased the satisfaction of their customer with
the good quality of product . The approach also make the product been in quality
improvement compaired as before the implemantation of the “Made for You” method which is the meals arrive
hotter, fresher and better every time to customer .
Another advantages of the new approach is increased the customer service
relationship . Mc Donald company want to ensure the customer satisfaction is on
a good level and miximize it to the higher level wheter as we know the Mc
Donalds company had been a good fast food service provider and its have its own
brand loyalty on the customer mind . The method has upgrade the product (meals)
for the Mc Donald so more of the customer would choose Mc Donald for the fast
food while rejected the other fast food provider. Cost Reduction occur which is
reducing the wastages as uncooked materials has a higher shelf life because
they can store the material in a good quality before order are make from
customer.
Now we go on how the “Made for You” works from the order are placed until the order are receive . First when you place an order, your food choice get transferred right away from the computer to the kitchen and the “Made for You” system begin . The order have been receive in a kitchen through the KITCHEN VIDEO SYSTEM (KVS) . The meals started to be process or cooked. For example, the buns of hamburger was place in a Vertical Rapid Toaster or Rapid Steamer. After the activities done, its send to the next trained professional in the chain .
Took an order
Vertical Rapid Toaster
The
next station will place the bun on the heated prep table and add a quality
ingredient and after its has been done they would put it on the heated landing
zone . For the last stages, the burger collected from the heated landing zone
and gather it with the drinks or other item that required from the customer
.The lean production system of “Made for
You” targeted under the 90 second from order to delivery to the customer .
The “Made for You” system as as a
tecnueqe that required the good technoloy , rapid respond and the good
management of the production line that must ensure the product are deliver to
