Case Study#1

Not-So-Fast Fast-Food company

One of the leading fast-food restaurant chains lost 30% market share in last 12 months. The Board of Directors fired the CEO in a meeting that was held last week. The interim CEO announced that she would be applying the Lean Six Sigma methodology to investigate what could have gone wrong.

The restaurant chain has over 1000 locations across the country; however, the menu is very standardized and serves only 5 items in each restaurant. The restaurant is known for buying organic meats and vegetables and the customer base includes people who are health conscious and yet like to eat outside and eat fast food. Unlike the competitors, they never had to place an advertisement in any media channel and despite that the averages wait time for getting the meal is above 20 minutes. Customers seem to be okay to stand in the line to order their custom-made burritos and tacos. The new CEO has hired you as Lean Six Sigma Consultant to run this project. (Hint: You can assume anything and everything you want to).
