lettuce could only be grown during the winter months but with McDonald's expertise in the area of agriculture provided assistance in the selection of high quality seeds, exposed the farms to advanced drip-irrigation technology, and helped develop a refrigerated transportation system allowing a small agri-business in Maharashtra to provide fresh, high-quality lettuce to McDonald's urban restaurant locations . pre-cooling room to remove field heat, a large cold room and a refrigerated van for transportation where the temperature and the relative humidity of the crop is maintained between 1º C and 4º C and 95% respectively. Vegetables are moved into the pre-cooling room within half an hour of harvesting. The pre-cooling room ensures rapid vacuum cooling to 2º C within 90 minutes
Capability to produce frozen foods at temperature as low as -35 Degree Cel. to retain total freshness. Hi-tech refrigeration plants is to ensure that the frozen food retains it freshness for a long time and the 'cold chain' is maintained. keeping cultural sensitivities in mind, both processing lines are absolutely segregated and utmost care is taken to ensure that the vegetable products do not mix with the non-vegetarian products.
Three Pillars of the Plan to Win Brand direction Freedom within a framework Measurable milestones More customers More often More brand loyalty More profitable best ingredients, strict standards, and proven preparation procedures value is defined as the total experience you receive for what you pay, and at McDonald’s, the total experience includes great food, friendly folks, a clean environment, as well as quick and accurate service.

From this point onwards, until just before the burger is actually served in a McDonald’s restaurant hundreds of kilometers away, the temperature is never allowed to increase, . When the refrigerated milk arrives at the Dynamix plant at Baramati, the milk in every single tanker is thoroughly tested and rejected if found sub-standard, adulterated or contaminated. The sophisticated testing lab can check fat content with an accuracy of 0.1 per cent.

Cold chain refers vto the procurement warehousing transportation and retailing under controlled temp.
Commissary processed the wheat and prepared the pizza dough. The pizza dough and other items prepared in commissaries were then sent to the retail outlets again in refrigerated trucks. The temperature inside the truck was fixed based on the distance between the retail outlets and the commissaries. This was to set the dough at a particular level when it reached the outlets. The retail outlets had to use up the processed dough within three days of delivery. If they failed to do so for some reason the entire quantity was discarded.
Setting up of the Cold Chain has also enabled it to cut down on operational wastage
