Redzone Production Systems was founded by Mark Sutcliffe in 2013 with a vision to transform manufacturing performance; while bringing dignity back to the frontline worker. Mark asked Richard Tester & Jon Clement to join as founding members to help bring this vision to life & they brought the unique frontline collaboration technology to customers in 2014 with miraculous results. The red zone refers to the 20 yards before the end zone on a football field. Statistically it’s the area of the field where most touchdowns are scored. Offenses & defenses change strategy in real-time, players adapt in the moment, & games are ultimately won or lost. Just as on a football field, there is a red zone in manufacturing: the plant floor while the line is running. Your players are your front-line teams. You win the production day when they call the manufacturing plays in real-time; avoiding uptime or quality losses when the unexpected strikes. Managers & planners assume these production losses are a norm; unavoidable since you can’t plan for the unexpected. This is wrong! It's the one thing you can be sure is going to happen, & every day you can be equally sure that your frontline teams can avoid most of them...for good! In fact, with the right plays codified into the Redzone Software, your frontline team can win the day, adapt in the moment, call new plays, avoid hazards & get output back in the green when the unexpected strikes – self-organizing without management intervention.
