Results of the fi rst 400 F&B CustomersTo assess the e� ectiveness of the Redzone Production System a study was conducted on the fi rst 400 food & beverage companies that had embarked on the Redzone 90 Day Productivity Program. We analyzed the success of the journey, investments made, fi nancial impact and sustainability of results.

Many of the fi ndings exceeded the original targets defi ned prior to the commencement of the study and demonstrate a remarkably consistent picture between organizations, regardless of their starting point, size or existing improvement infrastructure.

The majority of the organizations reported that their most signifi cant change has been in the attitudes of people on the shop fl oor.

The full details of these results and how they were achieved and sustained are documented in the latestRedzone food & beverage productivity benchmarkreport. Ask us for a copy or download it from ourwebsite rzsoftware.com
