Operations Project Manager Cosmetics Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Cosmetix West - Redzone Implementation" March 6, 2023 4.0 Overall experience is very good. The employees are paying attention to the OEE performance and the QC team is more interactive now. Pros We had a challenging implementation due to the nature of our business. Our production lines usually don't remain the same and the sensor configuration becomes inadequate. Cons There is not a good solution to integrate labor cost into the operations module. Tableau does not capture accurately all the data. Review Source AW Angelika W. Team leader Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A 10 out of 10 experience on redzone daily" May 21, 2024 5.0 Redzone helped me save time, I can better utilise my time on other more important issues. I can quickly see everything on the line and easily make changes Pros I like everything of Redzone, unlike the other system, we do not need to type all the downtime reasons, we can easily select, this makes our job easier. Cons When I selected changover, the line should be stopped however when we still flushing the last products, it takes the line out of changeover. Sometime sesnor are not 100% correct Review Source PP Pratima P. Team leader Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Redzone is a good experience for the front line team leaders" May 21, 2024 5.0 Redzone is very accurate for counting line speeds, I can immediately react to the data and make any adjustments to improve my line performance. Pros Redzone is like a competition for me, I like seeing my line with green and stars. It's giving me real time feedback and it's easy to use. I like that I can easily share photos and videos so problems gets fixed quicker, Cons Sometimes when I want to select a downtime reason, it's not available, so I have to manually write down a comment. Review Source AD Amaury D. Director of Operations Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Redzone Productivity Module" February 10, 2021 5.0 Pros The best thing about Redzone is the transparency and visibility of all the things that are happening on the production area. Another great feature is how easy it is to communicate with the rest of the departments using the Line Log feature. This software has increased the engagement between departments in our company. Cons The fact that it is iOS based can be something good and bad at the same time. I would like to be able to see the Redzone information on another device (laptop, pc) that is not my iPad, iPhone or apple tv. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) More accuracy on the data. Eliminate human error. Improve the process. Review Source Response from QAD February 23, 2021 Thanks for the review Amaury. Happy to hear how the fundamental premise of Redzone--giving frontline workers a 'voice' through modern communication technology--has increased engagement. AG Andrew G. Senior Change Manger Food Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great bunch of people to work with" August 23, 2022 5.0 As a Site Manager, an Op-Ex support Manager and a Senior Change Manager I have found it really easy to work with the Redzone Team and they will go out of their way to ensure that site issues are addressed. Pros Easy to understand, logical, drives performance improvement, communications, inclusive of all factory. Cons Glitches in the system from time to time, sometimes cannot edit fields and sometimes you can. Lists of names for Forums are not alphabetic. Reason for choosing QAD Redzone The Communication and Kaizen aspects Review Source MP Manrique P. Division Vice President of Operations Food Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Mastronardi Produce Laredo" June 10, 2021 4.0 We think is a good system that is helping us to know the numbers that we are producing (time, cases quantity, productivity), and to motivate the people when we share the numbers on the TVs. Pros The software use is so friendly, is too easy to handle, and learn how to use the features. Another thing that we like too much is that we can see the information of each run that we ran (total cases produced, number of people that worked on each order, time to complete the orders). Cons When we create actions some of them don’t appear when we start the huddles, also sometimes the sensors don’t count properly the cases or bags. "\[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] showed us an example of how to fill in redzone the form (PPSC)that we are doing manually at this time, but we never execute it and we think this is a good idea to make more easy and efficient the process" \*\*Comments from our production supervisors\*\*\* Review Source Response from QAD June 14, 2021 "Too easy to handle" and "We like too much". Very high praise indeed! MB Mark B. Supervisor Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Maximize efficiency " February 23, 2020 5.0 Productivity is the only problem we use redzone for its it works great shows trends and real time data information on production numbers. Pros Redzone is a great way to promote competition among employees we constantly are trying to beat each hour and the previous shift the real time productivity tracking shows us how we are doing allowing me to figure out when and where we can improve Cons It has some glitches. In all fairness it could be the sensors not the program. But it can be a pain to get back online when it does stop working. Review Source Response from QAD January 21, 2021 Mark, Thank you for your generous rating. We would love to hear how we might increase your Likelihood to Recommend. I would suggest speaking with your Community Coach. ST Sam T. VP Operations Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cloverdale " May 20, 2021 4.0 Great implementation- needs champion and to be imbedded in the culture to work best - create a need for the information - discipline required Pros Real time - easy iPad interface- logical layout Cons Struggle to get valuable trend reporting - or send information outside the platform- it is available and possible with training and IT support Reason for choosing QAD Redzone Relationship with integration team and hardware/software Review Source Response from QAD May 21, 2021 Thank you for the review. Sorry to hear of your struggles with Tableau. We would recommend that you take advantage of the extensive online resources for Tableau including training and tips & tricks, but of course, you can always with your coach for that human touch:-) EG Edward G. Operations supervisor Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "\[sensitive content hidden\] is the best!" May 2, 2024 5.0 A little early to tell. In general I believe this system will work out a lot better than our previous system. Pros Ease of use and interaction. The instruction from the trainer was great. Cons I was sold on the fact of the checks firing on a run time basis. In reality that creates some confusion. Review Source SK Sataporn K. QA Executive Food Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Compliance module on Redzone" March 22, 2022 4.0 Pros Redzone helps a lot in terms of decreasing time-consuming, previously the operators needed to write down everything in the paper which took so much time on that. It also helps to build great communication between all levels with all relevant departments, so it can help the action to be done faster. The barcode reading feature is a great one as well, it can help to confirm that each barcode can read correctly and complete. What I like the most would be that we can see the real-time data which is important in compliance. Cons Sometimes, the datasheet just popped up a little delay (I'm not sure it's the problem neither from Redzone nor internet connection). Moreover, it also cannot deselect some data items which are not mandatory as well, so we can only solve this problem by just only add on the N/A option. Review Source EH Erica H. Human Resource Admin Machinery Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "American Highway " November 22, 2023 4.0 Redzone has been easy to adapt to, the trainer is knowledgeable and helps you solve all your problems. Pros I like that this is a platform for us to see what we have produced and away to communicate with shop floor Cons nothing it has very little flaws , even easy for people who are not tech savy to use with ease. Review Source KL Kristian L. QA Specialist Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Go Paperless!" May 23, 2024 5.0 Pros Redzone is an awesome tool that helps the whole plant engage. But specifically the compliance module has been great. We are loving going paperless and look forward to keep building within this module. \[sensitive content hidden\] was great and we loved when she came to visit! Thank you Redzone! Cons I do not think there is anything I have not liked about redzone! Review Source nN nitendra N. area manager Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Area manager experience on using Redzone" August 24, 2023 5.0 We recently just did a kaizen project using redzone and it's very easy to use and able to help us to identify where the problems are and we can easily allocate task the the right people so the matters can be deal with easily. Pros From an area management point of view. it provides very detailed and accurate data and this helps massively when we are tring to resolve daily issues. The systems helps us to interact with others in real time, a simple high 5 can mean a lot to the team. Cons i honest can not think of any areas where i dont like the system. i feel with any new system, it just takes time and practice to master the skill and using it daily. so far it's been a very pleasant journey and the system helps us to react to problems very quickly Review Source eS eszter S. section manager Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Redzone improves our communication" August 10, 2023 5.0 before using redzone, we were counting packs per minutes, we were reviewing only at the end of the job, it was hard to tell if that production run was good or bad and it was never accurate numbers. now everyone is using OEE, i can now see how well my team is performing and if performance is down i can have my counter measure, if the availability is down, i can call engineers to come help fix the problem. Redzone is guiding me the direction on how to solve my daily problems. Pros the system allow me to use my phone to see how well we are doing, the data we see is live and we can reacts quickly when we see the line isn't performing as it should be. we can also escalate the issues into different department in our daily meetings using Redzone. Cons there are limited function on the mobile phone app. for example i can not start a huddle using the mobile app and some people take more time to learn the system than the others. (non english speakers and limited language available) Review Source AS Augusto S. Packing Engineer Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great platform, easy to use" May 1, 2024 5.0 We are able to have meeting on live date, instead of having to wait for a shift to finish. All meetings we do on the shopfloor are visible, and we can easily see how well they were performed. people are more engaged and coming together more often. Moving away from paper also is a huge benefit. We can easily find information, and we dont have to go to paper arcive and spend time looking for data sheets from specific days/shifts. Pros Redzone allows me to easily see dowtime reasons for our lines, review Quality Checks and communicate with frontline operators. It is very user-friendly and it has a great interface. Cons Currently all the admin set up has to be done on the iPad. this takes more time and it is more clumsy. it would be better to have a version on browsers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Review Source HS HARRY S. CI Project Mgr Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Utz Quality Foods " February 9, 2021 5.0 Excellent customer service and support . Very important with this type of software Pros The ease of operator use. Steve Jobs made it possible to have even the most technologically disadvantaged operators successfully interact with the ipad and RZ. Cons Sometimes the RZ updates come out with bugs and make it difficult until they roll out the fixes. Possibly too many updates and new features. They should focus on what they have and make it solid . Reason for choosing QAD Redzone Ease of operator use and interaction Review Source Response from QAD February 23, 2021 Thanks for the 'full house' Harry. Your insight on ease of use will be important to reviewers. Many believe their shop floor workers won't adopt technology. mS montawee S. supervisor Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Running meetings more effectively with Redzone!" November 24, 2023 5.0 We have always been doing daily production meetings, however with the intgration with redzone. We can run out meetings more effectively. we can use the app to track downtimes instantly and we can create actions to resolve our problems. Before Redzone, these tasks were not tracked and with Redzone we can see the status of each actions,these actions are managed and we can escalte to next level if needed. Pros The app truly gives our front line operators a voice, they can comment, take photos and videos on any downtime issues. we are also creating actions based on downtime. The information is view by everyone, as a supervisor i can oversee all my lines and i can manage them easily. the coaching provided was great and the practice week sessions helped us to understand the systems a lot more so we can prepared for the actual coaching. Cons we are currently in the GMT + 8 and if we have any support related questions, we would need to wait until afternoon for the feedbacks. i hope they can have support office in the far east. Review Source cL cristi L. production section manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "my daily go to tool, production section manager" September 4, 2023 5.0 before Redzone, we always have problem with people not doing the right standard work, starting shift on time, coming back from break on time. now with Redzone, because everything is fully visible, people are back to their station on time and the line runs faster as live performance it's shown on screen. Pros Redzone gives me full view of how my section is doing. i dont need to run around all the lines everyday to speak to my line leaders and i can manage my lines with the help of redzone. we are also doing huddles, every huddle, we can make minor adjustments to our lines so we all can reach our goal. Cons it took some time to understand the huddle and start to see the benefits of huddles, At the start, people do not like doing huddles, they think it's extra work, as time goes on and their lines start to run better they understand why they need to huddle. Review Source DC Dalia C. Quality Assurance Manager Food Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "RedZone" March 11, 2022 5.0 The amount of paperwork has gone down and it has not affected the ability to produce information when it is required. The customer support was fantastic. Between having calls, emails, and onsite in-person help, the implementation and all of the pending questions about the software were answered and the problems resolved. Pros \-The ability to painlessly transition to being paperless and the help on being audit ready is great. -The software's ability to be custom tailored to fit an existing procedure is great and very simple to do. -The app is very user friendly and easy to teach. Cons \-Although the app is very easy to customize, it does have its limitations. Review Source AB Arthur B. Continuous Improvement Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing for" February 1, 2024 5.0 Pros Real-Time OEE monitoring. Digital data sheets and interactive checks. Chats between employees and management. Huddle groups and activities. Cons My only gripe is that Redzone is only available on iOS, but this is subjective as I've always been a Microsoft user. Review Source JG Joao G. Plant Engineering Manager Food Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ultimate Communication Tool!" February 11, 2022 5.0 Pros The entire Redzone approach is fantastic, a well structured plan with solid results. From set up, implementation, coaching and kaizens events, everything flows smoothly when your company truly buys into the principles and put them in practice daily. Increasing your OEE week after week is a great feeling for everybody, top to bottom. Cons The inability to integrate with ERP systems. This feature would make this solution the absolute best on all ends. Review Source DE Darren E. Planning Manager Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Redzone - manufacturing" June 9, 2022 5.0 very good, involved in most the set up and the Redzone team are excellent, patient and good at training Pros The fact it is easy to use from a user perspective is a big important aspect of Redzone Cons There is nothing I dont like about the software, it is quite intuitive to use Review Source DM David M.

Pros Redzone does a great job of challenging floor supervisors and hourly Team Members to drive results in a positive way.
