The Plant of the Year award isn’t just another accolade. It’s the crown jewel, the ultimate recognition of excellence. The Dot’s Pretzels team didn’t just achieve initial success – they elevated it, built upon it, and transformed it into something amazing. Through multiple module deployments, they’ve ignited a spark of cross-functional collaboration that lights up the entire frontline and, ultimately, the entire factory.
What sets them apart is their relentless drive to recognize, reward, and celebrate every victory, big or small. Each success is a stepping stone; a new opportunity to honor the champions of the frontline. They’ve turned recognition into an art form, ensuring every team member feels valued and inspired to keep pushing the boundaries. When this happens, plants become beacons of excellence, linking dedication, teamwork, and innovation to achieve unprecedented results.
Dot’s Pretzels are known for their buttery flavor and blend of bold spices. However, the company is also increasingly becoming known as a Redzone Community Awards all-star. They deployed Redzone in 2020 and won one of the 90-Day Productivity Awards in 2021. In addition, team member Jessica Hernandez was hailed as a Frontline MVP of the Year in 2023. Building upon their successes and pushing even harder the company has now done it again, by winning, and truly deserving, the coveted Plant of the Year title.
Dot’s Pretzels has driven productivity, decreased maintenance downtime by 29%, reduced employee turnover by 42%, and improved capacity planning. And they’ve achieved all this while launching new products and navigating an acquisition by The Hershey Company.
What stayed consistent was Dot’s Pretzels’ commitment to using Redzone to give a voice to their frontline. Dot’s Pretzels empowers their team to make the most informed decisions day in and day out. Its leaders participate in continuous improvement programs and help create an environment for success, ensuring their forums matter. Team members look for new ways to improve production, they rally around the obsession and they all celebrate the successes when they achieve together
