Redzone University
“Redzone has played a significant role in driving continuous improvement deep in the organization. It empowers our employees to make decisions and act by seeing real-time data. Redzone is helping to drive a sustainable culture change.”
For bakeries, delays in production are no small matter. If left to sit for too long, perishable ingredients and goods run the risk of spoilage, leading to lost profits, reduced quality, and food safety concerns. In order to prevent that from happening, plants need to operate at maximum efficiency.
QAD Redzone’s bakery management software empowers your frontline workers with the tools and technology they need to prevent unexpected downtime, stay productive, and deliver products that are as high quality as they are delicious.
Boost your competitive standing by significantly increasing productivity in just 90 days, enabling you to overcome tight margins and become the lowest-cost producer.
Improve equipment reliability and keep volumes on your long lines high by activating operator care across your facility.

Every other year, we conduct a benchmark study against the QAD Redzone 90-day productivity program to assess the effectiveness of the QAD Redzone Connect Workforce Solution. This study compares baseline OEE to the resulting OEE uplift after 90 days and calculates the productivity improvement.
All of QAD Redzone’s community members see OEE uplifts in 90 days — sophisticated, global manufacturers can expect double-digit increases, while smaller, less mature plants see OEE uplifts of >30%.
With an average OEE uplift of 12% and an associated 22% productivity improvement across the entire sample, users enjoy additional capacity without adding resources and can reduce costs without increasing output.
Perhaps the most impactful outcome of this study is the cultural phenomenon that results from improved communication across all plants considered.
