Inefficiencies in production

During the early years of the design of the McDonalds hamburger production system his
company majority focused on efficiency and consistency of the quality of product sold to
consumers. The company aimed at providing uniformly high quality to consumer who was
served low cost fast foods in a friendly and clean environment. However this system required
many of the company staff to be on the lookout for traffic coming into the store to avoid
backlogs which caused customer to wait longer than their usual time. Considering this system
needed as many as five people to operate in the grill area during the busiest times with many
other stations requiring double or even triple number of employees there were few who could
keep an eye on the incoming traffic at the store. In addition to this bin workers had to spend a
major part of their time on shift watching the traffic and matching it against the bin inventors in
order to build sandwich suppliers and prevent customer waiting for long periods .McDonalds
production system also created a lot of loopholes which led to huge losses as a result of many
food items that stayed too long being discarded. These may have been the major reason for
inefficiencies in the McDonalds hamburger production system
