McDonald'sHow McDonald's Runs Engineering Design on Creo
McDonald's, a consumer discretionary organization in the United States, uses Creo from PTC to support engineering design for design engineers.
McDonald's runs engineering design on PTC so ownership is obvious when work stalls.
“Consumer Discretionary work at McDonald's spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States.”
“Design engineers asked for a shared way to run engineering design without freezing local judgment.”

Story
Consumer Discretionary work at McDonald's spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Product design was splitting across regional habits. Design engineers asked for a shared way to run engineering design without freezing local judgment.
PTC (Creo) is what they standardized on. PTC provides product lifecycle management, CAD, and industrial IoT software used by manufacturers to design and service products. McDonald's uses it as the system of record for product design, with design engineers as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
