Greatness isn’t achieved in a moment...it’s built through consistent effort, bold leadership, and a team that believes in something bigger than themselves. At the 10th Annual QAD Redzone Community Awards earlier this month, we had the privilege of celebrating a lineup of manufacturing pacesetters that exemplify what it means to lead by example, with one amongst these fantastic change makers, becoming our 2024 Plant of the Year winner, Dot's Pretzels in Lenexa, KS Their story is as inspiring as it is impressive. Back in 2020, Dot’s Pretzels began their connected worker journey during a time of insurmountable change, facing high turnover and inefficiencies that challenged their operations. Fast forward just four years, and they’ve transformed their shop floor and their culture. Dot's grit, teamwork, and a commitment to continuous improvement achieved: - 50-point OEE improvement – unlocking productivity like never before. - A 42% decrease in turnover – creating a workplace people love to be part of. - A $1 million cost savings – driving efficiency and reinvesting in their future. - A 29% reduction in maintenance downtime – keeping production running smoothly. Leadership at Dot’s committed to fully fostering an environment where employees felt empowered to contribute, innovate, and take ownership of their work. From revamping scheduling to ensuring every frontline team member felt they had a purpose, Dot’s leadership created a culture that values action, results, and crucially, celebration. And, of course, let’s not forget the incredible pretzels! Throughout all their success...new products, growing capacity, and even an acquisition by Hershey — Dot’s has never lost sight of their identity. So here’s to Dot’s Pretzels, a shining example of what’s possible when great people, great systems, and great leadership come together.. If you’re looking for inspiration for your own operations, take a page from Dot’s journey: commit to your people, embrace the tools that drive change, and never stop celebrating your wins, big or small. Congratulations again to Dot’s Pretzels and the amazing Lenexa team as well as all of our 2024 award winners!.

?? Across the pond, excellence knows no bounds! While the awards ceremony took center stage in Chicago, we’re thrilled to continue to shine a spotlight on our Community Award winners! We had the honor of presenting the EMEA Frontline MVP Award to none other than Augusto Steinhorst from American Sugar Refining, Inc., Thames. Augusto’s leadership has been nothing short of extraordinary. With a relentless focus to empower his team and proving passion meets purpose. This year, Augusto played a pivotal role inspiring those around him to continually aim higher! Cheers to all the EMEA winners who are raising the bar in manufacturing and shaping the future of the industry! rzsoftware.com #ConnectedWorkforce #Manufacturing #SuccessStories
