Supply chain management in practice : a case study of McDonald’s Sweden
- 2012
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Although much discussed in theory, supply chain management (SCM) is often problematic to carry out in practice. One exception is McDonald’s Sweden, which since its establishment has worked with suppliers and restaurants (franchisees) in a way that reminds of what SCM literature recommends. The purpose of this report is to describe and analyse the supply chain of McDonald’s Sweden from suppliers to franchisees.Based on interviews with McDonald’s Sweden, suppliers and franchisees, McDonald’s supply chain is described and analysed according to SCM literature. Cooper and Ellram’s (1993) framework of SCM characteristics is used complemented with several other writers.The study describes a supply chain where its members to a large extent collaborate as described in SCM literature. The report identifies and describes how significant SCM characteristics, such as information sharing, joint planning, and the sharing of risks and rewards are managed in the case. Finally, the report identifies market saturation and the search for economies of scale outside the primary supply chain as a challenge for future SCM practices. The case constitutes an interesting showcase where the ways in which the studied features are managed can inspire others businesses in succeeding in SCM.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The numerical simulations presented in the present paper were on beam models geometrically identical to the beams previously tested in a shock tunnel but now provided with increased shear reinforcement consisting of vertical stirrups. The tested beam failed in brittle flexural shear during the blast loading in the tunnel. The results from the numerical investigation showed that brittle shear failures of beams subjected to blast loads may be prevented by dense shear reinforcement. The guideline for impulse loaded structure showed to underestimate the dynamic shear capacity as it is not dependent on the actual transverse reinforcement amount. This is however considered in the model used for determining the static shear capacity, meaning that further work developing a similar model fit to impulse loading is advised. To realize this development a new test series is proposed.
