Ingredients Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) Improvement

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.

If we didn’t have this productivity uplift, there’s no way we’d be able to take on the business that we’ve had the last couple of months or even that we’ve had over the last 18 months.
