Redzone has allowed our struggles to become more visible and with this our problems are being solved and fixed much quicker than before. In our 90 day start up of redzone the packaging area has seen a 30 % uplift in our productivity. A great example of empowering the operators is my one operator had to go walk 50 + ft to a HMI screen to reset the conveyor every time they would stop. She entered her idea in the activity part of redzone suggesting to install a button by the conveyor so that 2 things could happen she would save on wasted motion walking and also make the line more efficient by getting it up and running faster. It was implemented within a few days. This shows that we are addressing the issues and makes the operator have a positive outlook on redzone and what it can do for us in the future. They also will be more reluctant to come up with ideas and share them in redzone when seeing results so quickly.

I also loved the redzone university which I did and made things not so scary. I am having all my supervisors do this also. This was encouraged by our coach Derrick and I agree helps get the whole team on board and using all the redzone features to allow us to become a more productive and efficient manufacturing team :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Redzone is a great tool for keeping our business connected to the truest source of information: the people working directly on the floor. Having used other systems before, I noticed that while they could track OEE, they often fell short when it came to capturing valuable feedback from operators, mechanics, technicians, and everyone else on the team. With Redzone, I see team members actively using the platform to share details (whether through chats, pictures, or videos) which has proven incredibly helpful, especially when different shifts or leaders are investigating recurring issues. It’s great to have all this information centralized, and everything gets recorded in each run report for easy access.

When we kicked off targeted coaching at the start of this year, our site re-launched the huddles with help of our coach, Zach Thompson. Since then, there’s been a noticeable positive trend, not just more forums being held, but also a surge in actions and new ideas that are now being passed along to management forums for follow-up. It’s really important to give the employees the opportunity to feel seen and heard, and their contributions making a tangible impact, and Redzone is a great tool to do so.

The other part on Redzone that is been really helpful is the Kaizen forums, we have used these to conduct Root Cause Analysis, utilize the Fishbone tool and having the ability to manage all the action items and follow ups in one place is great and made our improvement efforts much more organize and effective.

Not at downside from the software by itself, but I was hoping to use Redzone to start implementing Centerlines (base settings) and CILs and then I learned that those are now part of a different module that we don't currently have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It spurs a lot of communication between different groups in our facility, gives us a lot of trackability and oversight on work to be done and completed tasks in the maintenance group.

This is very user friendly and easy to comprehend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Still need some features to help us on our reliability side Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Redzone is a tool that has made my work much more efficient. It saves me a significant amount of time, allowing me to focus on other priorities and become more involved in production and quality activities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Right now, I do not have complaints about redzone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like QAD Redzone for its real-time data collecting and the effective communication it facilitates from the bottom to the top. Before QAD Redzone, we didn't have any kind of data collection—it was all manual. Now, it's possible to pull uptime and downtime data. I'm also looking forward to using the compliance module for digitized documentation in the future. The ease of setting up the system is pretty easy too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the beginning of the project, the plant team wasn't included in the planning phases, so it was pretty surprising in terms of the scope of work that was needed from the plant team. The majority of this was decided by our corporate team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really value being able to automatically schedule checks and see run progress and productivity at a glance. Being able to check on a line or process remotely is also a huge win, and it frees me up to focus on additional tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, I have very few issues with Redzone. Occasionally, the way we schedule checks doesn’t line up exactly with a specific tool in Redzone, but I’m usually able to set up something similar that still meets our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use QAD Redzone primarily to drive productivity and ensure compliance across our facilities, and it plays a central role in standardizing processes, improving accountability, and maintaining consistent quality. I enjoy the ability to customize and build out my team's checks from anywhere, which offers great freedom and the ability to assist from any of our locations or even from home. The customization allows us to match the system to our actual workflow with specific fields, photos, and automatic calculations, keeping data consistent and complete, improving compliance, and saving time by automating tasks like defect percentages and credit calculations. I also appreciate the real-time tracking of performance and visibility into key metrics, helping us quickly identify inefficiencies and reduce downtime. The support from a great coach, Ricardo Guillen, has also been invaluable in gaining the knowledge needed to lead and manage Redzone effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As of now, just the sign off process for quality checks. We should be able to choose what is signed off. Not every data sheet needs to be signed off. Only CCPs and other optional things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use and straightforward to work with. It’s been absolutely great for going paperless, and it really helps improve communication between departments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t have anything negative to say about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All of the modules follow the same structure and setup which means standardization of one area is relevant to the other areas. RedZone allows for real-time reactivity to when production is out of spec. The learning module is fantastic and easy to use and understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The excel upload sheets when creating items can be difficult. It would be easier if for each product in redzone, we could go to the centerlines and have them all listed and fill in the values within redzone without having to individually add each centerline to the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy that we can set time limits for our quality checks, ensuring our product meets standards at the correct time. It's great that we receive prompts from QAD Redzone, which replaces the manual process where operators kept track of their time. The ability to monitor efficiency, track downtime, and remove paper forms and checks from the floor is really beneficial. I also appreciate having real-time data for quality checks, allowing us to quickly see operators' performance against standards, which has made them more efficient.

The cycle locations are clunky to me. I feel like there could be a better way to notify QAD Redzone that you are moving to another batch instead of having to allocate pounds. Skip the part about allocating the pounds. It's repetitive and I don't see what the use is. Also, there was a lot of work on the back end setting up product specifications and the checks themselves.
