In the late 1980's after years of success, a changing marketplace brought new challenges to McDonald's. In response, McDonald's developed and implemented their new just-in-time kitchen system, called 'Made For You,' where every customer's sandwich is made to order. Among other innovations, the system employs newly-developed computer monitoring systems, heated holding cabinets, and rapid-speed toasters. McDonald's new system has boosted employee morale and has become the ultimate just-in-time food preparation system.
