Argon & Co has announced a global partnership with QAD<\/a> | Redzone<\/a>, bringing together transformation-led consulting and market-leading connected workforce technology to help manufacturers improve frontline execution and productivity across factory operations.<\/p>\n

Redzone is deployed across more than 2,000 factories, and the collaboration with Argon & Co marks the company\u2019s first strategic global partnership focused on transformation-led operational consulting.<\/p>\n

The partnership comes at a time when productivity improvement is becoming critical to manufacturing competitiveness due to labour shortages, rising costs and growing operational complexity. And while many\u00a0businesses\u00a0have invested heavily in automation and continuous improvement initiatives, translating those investments into sustained frontline performance\u00a0remains\u00a0a persistent industry challenge.<\/p>\n

\u201cManufacturers have more operational data and technology than ever before, but many still struggle to turn that into consistent performance on the shopfloor,\u201d said Paul Eastwood, Managing Partner APAC at Argon & Co.\u00a0\u201cToo often, improvements fail to stick, and digital investments struggle to deliver measurable results at scale. As AI and connected operations continue to evolve, the real opportunity lies in combining operational insight with the execution disciplines and behaviours needed to sustain performance over time.\u201d<\/p>\n

By combining Argon & Co\u2019s proprietary Manufacturing Optimisation and Daily Execution system, (MODE) with Redzone\u2019s AI-powered connected workforce platform, manufacturers can move beyond fragmented improvement initiatives and establish a more scalable, system-wide approach to operational performance.<\/p>\n

Redzone provides real-time visibility, AI-guided insights and a connected platform that enables frontline teams to take immediate action on performance. When combined with MODE, this creates a system where performance is visible at every level, approaches are standardised and capability is embedded within the workforce. Together, Redzone and MODE deliver the kind of operational performance many manufacturers do not think is achievable, at a speed traditional transformational programs often struggle to match.<\/p>\n

“Redzone\u2019s mission is to transform manufacturing by empowering the frontline to win every day and that mission demands more than great technology. It requires world-class coaching by people who have actually worked inside a factory. Argon & Co\u2019s consultants are proven manufacturing experts who understand the realities of the shop floor. That depth of expertise, combined with their truly global reach, is exactly what it takes to help manufacturers achieve what once seemed impossible: five days of production in four,\u201d said Ken Fisher, President at Redzone.<\/p>\n

Through the partnership, manufacturers will be able to combine connected worker technology with embedded operational disciplines including daily management systems, standard work, structured problem solving, leadership routines and capability transfer programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cRedzone has already built a significant client base in the US, and there\u2019s a reason for that, it delivers results. What excites me is the opportunity to take that even further. By combining Redzone with Argon & Co\u2019s MODE operating system, we can help existing Redzone clients unlock even greater factory performance, while enabling manufacturers implementing Redzone for the first time to embed stronger operational disciplines and productivity improvements from day one. This has the potential to fundamentally reshape how factories perform,\u201d said Eastwood.<\/p>\n

The Argon & Co and Redzone offering combines connected workforce technology with a proven manufacturing operating system and deep transformation and behavioural change expertise, an approach that remains rare in manufacturing transformation programs.<\/p>\n

The partnership will initially focus on supporting manufacturers across food and beverage, consumer goods, industrial\u00a0manufacturing\u00a0and process industries, with rollout capability spanning Europe, North America, Asia\u00a0Pacific\u00a0and the Middle East.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
