Importantly, it also includes coordination and collaboration with channel partners, which can be suppliers, intermediaries, and customers. Supply chain management integrates supply and demand management within and across companies.

It includes all of the logistics management activities noted above, as well as manufacturing operations, and it drives coordination of processes and activities with and across marketing, sales, product design, finance and information technology.The primary objective ofsupply chain managementis to fulfill customer demands through the most efficient use of resources, including distribution capacity,inventoryand labor.SUPPLY CHAIN IN MC DONALDS INDIA.In a fast food business, supply chain is of highest importance.

Acold chainis atemperature-controlledsupply chain. An unbroken cold chain is an uninterrupted series of storage and distribution activities which maintain a given temperature range. It is used help extend and ensure theshelf lifeof products such as fresh agricultural produce, processed foods, photographic film, chemicals andpharmaceutical drugs.This concept of cold chain in food industry and that too on such a large scale was started by mc donalds only.

This concept was unique in India and to start this concept, it took around 6 years. It benefited both farmers as wella s the consumers, as they are getting the fresh, best quality and great value food. With this concept mc donalds cut down its wastage and able to maintain its freshness and nutritional value of raw material.

STEPS INVOLVED IN COLD CHAIN CONCEPT. Procurement

Warehousing

Transportation

Retailing

All the above activities took place in tempreture controlled atmosphere.

picture of a temperature controlled truck.STEPS INVOLVED IN COLD CHAIN CONCEPTMcDonald's finding the factor of cold room being vital ensured that even before vegetables from farms entered the refrigerated zones, they were locked in a pre-cooling room to remove field heat. Vegetables were placed in the pre-cooling room within half an hour of harvesting where rapid cooling decreased the field temperature of vegetables to 2C within 90 minutes. Then a large cold room (a refrigerated van) was used for transportation to the distribution centers. In the van, the temperature and relative humidity of crop was maintained at 1-4C and 95 per cent, respectively and the flavors and freshness are locked

At the suppliers' level, care was taken to guard against any possible contamination or interruption in the cold chain that can break the link and have a detrimental effect on the quality of our product.

The iceberg lettuce from Ooty, mutton patties from Hyderabad and sesame seed buns from Punjab were all delivered to Radhakrishna Foodland Private Limited (RFPL) distribution centre (cold storage) in its refrigerated vans. RFPL stored the products in controlled conditions in Mumbai and New Delhi and supplied them to McDonald's outlets on a daily basis.

By transporting the semi-finished products at a particular temperature, the cold chain ensured freshness and adequate moisture content of the food. The specially designed trucks maintained the temperature in the storage chamber throughout the journey. Drivers were instructed specifically not to switch off the chilling system to save electricity, even in the event of traffic jam.

THREE LOGISTICAL DRIVERS.1. Facilities- they are the actual physical location in the supply chain network where the product is stored, assembled, or fabricated. The two main facilities are production sites and the storage sites.In McDonalds, because the products are perishable, storage time was minimal so as to reduce the wastage.

2. Transportation- it is the process where the inventory is moving from place to place. Refrigerated vans are used here in this case.3. Inventory- it includes raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods within a supply chain.THREE CROSS-FUNCTIONAL DRIVERS

1. sourcing- who will perform which activity( production, storage, transportation, and distribution) in a supply chain.

This activity was taken care by mcdonalds corporation.2. information- it includes data and analysis related to facilities, inventory, transportation, cost, prices and customers in the whole supply chain.

This activity was done by Radhakrishana food land that acts as their distribution centre.3. pricing- how much a firm could charge for a particular goods and services that it makes available in the supply chain.

Here it was done by the mcdonalds only. PULL/PUSH PROCESSPull processes are initiated by a customer order while the push processes are initiated by the anticipation of customer order.

Mcdonalds use both pull as well as push process, to a certain extent push is created and after that level the pull created by the firm did its task. One important question can be asked to what level that push can be applied.The products will be pushed to the restaurants where the customers automatically demand that product and hence a pull is created.

Fig. showing the boundry of pull and push, push last till the product reaches the restaurant and pull starts when a customer orders the product.SUPPLY CHAIN PROCESS CYCLE..

The processes in the supply chain are divided into a series of cycles, each performed at the interface between 2 successive stages of supply chain
