Social technology has transformed consumer society and now it’s transforming the industrial workplace. All the elements required for sustainable improvements are packaged into the Redzone social APP. Effective Continuous Improvement requires the discretionary efforts and ideas of the entire plant team; but without an effective means of capturing opportunities for improvement or escalating and following through, these ideas are lost; leaving the front-line workforce disengaged and unable to impact productivity. Technology on its own, however, changes nothing. Lasting change happens when daily habits and behaviors shift. This requires leadership to make the first move by introducing new feedback and action cycles and arming their front line with new skills to tackle their own problems. Coupling social technology, that the workforce love to use, with a 90-day coaching program has been the cornerstone to the success of the Redzone Community. It’s delivered miraculous productivity uplifts to 400+ Food & Beverage and Consumer Packaged Goods manufacturers who are now more competitive, and growing faster, as a result. Companies using Redzone have had average productivity gains of 13.3% in 90 days according to our most recent benchmark report that analyzed the uplifts of over 400+ plants that went through the 90 day program. We invite you to attend one of our Redzone Community events to experience this for yourself .
