McDonald’s serves nearly 69million people through its restaurants. This large an output requires reliable inputs (raw materials). Thus, McDonald’s has a large web of suppliers including direct and indirect suppliers. To manage the large number of suppliers and to trust them on their quality of service, McDonald’s chooses and works with only those direct suppliers who share their values and vision for sustainable supply. They expect a set level of “quality, safety, efficiency and sustainability” from them and believe that they do the same with their suppliers (indirect suppliers).
