Prepared Foods Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) Improvement

To monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the QAD Redzone Connected Workforce Solution, we carry out a benchmark study against our 90-Day productivity program every other year. The analysis measures the baseline overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) to the resulting OEE uplift after 90 days, using our prepared foods management software.

All QAD Redzone community members experience OEE uplifts within 90 days of using our prepared foods OEE software. For sophisticated global manufacturers, double-digit increases are common, while smaller, less mature plants can expect OEE uplifts of 30% or more.

On average, users experienced a 12% OEE uplift and a 22% productivity improvement across the entire sample. Our prepared foods manufacturing software enables users to enjoy additional capacity without adding resources. QAD Redzone’s connected frontline workforce solutions also help reduce costs without increasing output.

Perhaps the most notable — but impossible to measure — outcome has been the cultural phenomenon that resulted from improved communication across the plants considered in this study.
