Inventory system of McDonald: McDonald had a different approach to inventory management wherein they used to pre-cook a batch of hamburgers and sit under heat lamps.

The only way it could happen was by the customer giving a special order. Therefore McDonald moved to the JIT system of inventory management. This shift was possible because that enabled them to make burgers faster and keep the time between placing an order and receiving it as soon as possible. This results in the finished product sitting in the inventory for as little as possible. This enables proper inventory management and reduces wastage while giving maximum satisfaction to the customer.
