Yes! McDonalds Supply Chain staff members endorsed the development of this independent network of suppliers. The Supply Chain Team remains informed, engaged and aligned through comprehensive updates with the SN Executive Board.
The SN will add value to the McDonalds system by strengthening the links in the Supply Chain. There is a wealth of knowledge and information available that can be leveraged across the system by those who have demonstrated achievement in the area. By building, elevating and leveraging knowledge, the SN will work to provide quality, informational events and educational opportunities that respond directly to the needs and requests of the membership via webinars and in-person meetings. Executive Meet & Greets will provide our members with the opportunities to hear from Senior Leadership on the state of the business and learn what suppliers can do to support the System. We also encourage attendance at our Power Hours where our members can meet and converse with McDonalds guests and other members of the Supplier Community.
Supplier Network members enjoy several benefits. The following are just a few examples:
Exclusive access to up-to-date information, education and training
Member-only events featuring subject matter experts on a variety of relevant topics: McDonald's Info, Professional Development, Networking
