“When you look at the amount of volume that we do it was a big driver for us. It continues to keep us, not only profitable, but healthy from a standpoint of productivity when we price and cost going forward”
From strict food safety standards to frontline labor shortages to the need to process products quickly to prevent spoilage, fresh product processors face their fair share of challenges.
Fortunately, QAD Redzone’s produce management software gives processing facilities the tools and technology they need to make the most of their existing workforce by enhancing productivity and reducing turnover, all while maintaining quality and safety standards and passing audits with flying colors.
Increase competitiveness by significantly increasing productivity in just 90 days 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.
Dramatically shorten changeovers and other planned downtime to reduce spoilage risks for materials that are sensitive to environmental inconsistencies.
Become more action-oriented with action management and kaizen events to eliminate annoying issues that continuously drain your productivity.
Minimize IT burden and environmental risks with secure cloud technology and off-the-shelf automation.
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.
Comply with changing food safety regulations and packaging requirements by digitizing paper-based processes for quicker, more impactful audits.
Ensure the highest quality throughout every step of the manufacturing process with plant-wide quality dashboards and detailed digital records.
Trace raw materials and the flow of product throughout your facility to ensure quality and improve allergen segregation and management.
Access the most up-to-date information to ensure accuracy for everything from inventory management to fresh produce packing.
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.
