From the Paper
"If you build a McDonald's in the right area, the people will come, but good pricing surely plays a role in getting them to come back. One of the main elements of McDonald's marketing strategy is effective pricing of their product. Knowing that their target market consists in large part of families, who often need an affordable way to dine out with the children, their menu over the years has been priced in a way that allows virtually anyone to eat at McDonald's and enjoy a quality meal without spending a large amount of money. What it really comes down to is value- people enjoy McDonald's food which is a big part of repeat business; the best pricing in the world will not sell a product if the consumer does not perceive value in what they are purchasing. In fact, McDonald's states this outright in their "Value Menu" offerings of recent years, which provide selected menu items at a bargain price, most times, $1.00 or less."

Chapter 3: Conclusion

From the Paper
"At the points of sales (POS), it may appear that the company does not need the latest technology. In addition, the need for sophisticated equipment for processing the food is not required. It is important however to note that for an organization the size of McDonald's keeping all activities streamlined and smooth flowing requires interconnectivity. Supply chain management and value stream optimization are important for an organization of this size. Economies to scale in purchasing and distribution of the raw materials are essential. Optimizing and improving the output performances at the POS is also important. Traditionally the labor skill requirement at the POS is very low. This increases the turnover rates that are experienced by the company and company is well aware of this factor. Training therefore is essential at this level. At the managerial and supervisory level the skill requirement is very much higher. To manage the supply chain effective communication is required between the various stores and the head office or regional offices. At the same time the avenues of communication have to be simple and easy to use and the information has to be available to all parties in real time for effective decision-making."
