How Food Manufacturers Can Increase Profitability by Empowering Frontline Workers

May 16, 2024 @ 1 PM EDT / 10 AM PDT

As part of our Faces of the Frontline: Manufacturing’s All-Stars series, QAD Redzone invites you to join us for a conversation with our customers, California Natural Products and Perry’s Ice Cream, as we discuss how they’ve unlocked the power of their frontline manufacturing team to achieve miraculous results!

We all know that a manufacturer’s success is fueled by the empowerment and engagement of its frontline workers. Through their relentless pursuit of excellence, factory workers propel their teams toward greater productivity, profitability, and sustainability.  With achievements from increasing production throughput to reducing quality defects, the efforts of these dedicated employees resonate far beyond the confines of their respective factories. Frontline workers leave an indelible mark on their teammates, managers, and communities. 

Join this webinar to hear from Doug Strach, Plant Manager at California Natural Products, and Stephanie Sullivan, Operations Manager at Perry’s Ice Cream, on how their frontline workers have upskilled, handled challenges, and elevated into higher-level positions with the help of QAD Redzone. Learn why the mentality of empowering and engaging your frontline team has a positive impact on the overall operation, culture, and financial bottom line. 

Our goal at QAD Redzone is to amplify the impact of the frontline with our industry-leading #1 Connected Workforce Solution that provides innovative tools for collaboration, production efficiency tracking, reliability, maintenance, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement.
