Benefits for Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) Manufacturers

Productivity

Manufacturers that use QAD Redzone’s CPG production solutions see significant increases in productivity in just 90 days. This enables them to overcome tight margins and become lowest cost producers.

Volume

Keep volumes on your long lines high with improved equipment reliability by activating operator care across your facility.

Spoilage

Dramatically shorten changeovers and other planned downtime to reduce spoilage risks for materials that are sensitive to environmental inconsistencies.

Action Management

QAD Redzone’s CPG business intelligence software helps you become more action-oriented with action management and kaizen events to eliminate challenging issues that continuously drain your productivity.

Waste

More easily manage expensive raw materials with statistical process control (SPC) and out-of-the-box analytics to reduce waste and giveaway for baked goods.

Audits

Improve food safety and compliance by digitizing paper-based processes for quicker, more impactful audits.

Risks

Utilize CPG software to minimize IT burden and environmental risks with secure cloud technology and off-the-shelf automation.

We always knew there was opportunity in our plant, we just didn’t have the right systems in place to find it and act on it. Redzone has now given us that and we are witnessing huge improvements since we started this effort. Redzone is the
future of manufacturing.

CPG Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) Improvement

To assess the effectiveness of the QAD Redzone Connected Workforce Solution, a benchmark study is conducted against the QAD Redzone 90-Day productivity program every other year. The analysis compares baseline OEE to the resulting OEE uplift after 90 days and presents the resulting productivity improvement.

All QAD Redzone community members demonstrate OEE uplifts in 90 days. Sophisticated, global manufacturers can expect double-digit increases while smaller, less mature plants enjoy >30% OEE uplifts.

The average 12% OEE uplift with an associated 22% productivity improvement across the entire sample means that users can enjoy additional capacity without adding resources or reduce costs without increasing output.

Perhaps the most impactful—but immeasurable—outcome has been the cultural phenomenon that resulted from improved communication across the plants considered in this study.

By using our consumer packaged goods software, manufacturers can experience the benefits of improved communication and collaboration among employees, leading to a more engaged workforce and, ultimately, better CPG production.

CPG Manufacturing Software Integrations

Optimizing equipment performance and efficiency is a key concern for CPG manufacturers. QAD Redzone’s CPG solutions can help improve OEE by integrating with a variety of software systems, including:

  • Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS)
  • Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
  • Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)

By integrating with CMMS, QAD Redzone’s solutions can provide real-time monitoring of recruitment performance and maintenance needs, allowing for proactive maintenance and reducing downtime. This helps to improve OEE by reducing the number of unplanned stops and breakdowns.

Integration with ERP systems allows for the collection of real-time production data, which can be used to optimize production scheduling and inventory management. This can lead to improved production efficiency and reduced waste.

MES integration supports real-time tracking of production processes, enabling manufacturers to identify and address bottlenecks in the production line. This can improve production flow and increased output.
