Control Solutions, Inc. Productivity & QA Roadshow with Plant Tour

When growth started compounding and year-end demand pushed capacity to the limit, Control Solutions, Inc. knew something had to change. With 30–40% of annual orders coming in Q4, even a couple of hours of downtime during changeover became a major liability. That’s where Redzone came in. Using the Productivity module and a Kaizen-driven mindset, the team tackled waste, optimized changeovers, and gained real-time visibility — transforming not just operations, but how they define success. From a 35% starting OEE to a steady 50%, the results speak for themselves.

“It was life-changing,” says one team member. “What used to take a full day in Excel now takes seconds on an iPad.”

Key Takeaways:

• From 35% to 50% OEE through targeted Kaizen events and digital tools
• Reduced changeover downtime and removed major operational waste
• Streamlined communications and eliminated paper-based quality workflows
• Real-time data access via iPads replaced time-consuming spreadsheets
• End-of-year operational bottlenecks addressed with scalable digital solutions
