QAD | Redzone, the company redefining manufacturing and supply chains through intelligent, adaptive solutions, announced that Tenneco, a global automotive and industrial manufacturer, has successfully gone live on QAD Adaptive at its first manufacturing site.

A global manufacturer supporting diverse product lines and regional requirements, Tenneco has historically enabled a high degree of autonomy across its operations. As the company evaluated its next phase of transformation, leadership identified an opportunity to further strengthen alignment, standardization, and visibility across manufacturing while preserving the flexibility required by its business.
Rather than extending legacy platforms, Tenneco chose to modernize. The company invested in a cloud-based, manufacturing-focused platform designed to support real-time execution, trusted operational insight, and scalable growth.
“This go-live reflects the progress our teams are making to drive efficiency and build a future-ready foundation for Tenneco,” said Jonathon Brown, Divisional CIO, Performance Solutions at Tenneco. “We took a bold modernization vision and turned it into reality. With QAD Adaptive now live, our teams have a platform that supports AI-driven operations, faster decisions, and scalable execution. I’m proud of the collaboration and discipline that made this possible.”
With QAD Adaptive, Tenneco is moving beyond traditional ERP systems of record toward a system of action. The platform unifies core manufacturing, supply chain, and business processes on a single cloud foundation designed for daily operational use, improving visibility, reducing manual work, and enabling better collaboration across teams. By embedding intelligence directly into workflows, QAD Adaptive enables manufacturing teams to act on real-time information instead of relying on delayed reports and spreadsheet-driven analysis.
The implementation was delivered in collaboration with Arista Consulting, a QAD | Redzone implementation partner supporting Tenneco’s QAD Adaptive rollout.
“This was a complex, enterprise-scale transformation, and the successful launch reflects what disciplined execution and true partnership can achieve,” said Ayodhya Chand, Managing Partner at Arista Consulting. “Working closely with Tenneco and QAD | Redzone, we delivered a modern cloud foundation that simplifies operations today and supports long-term scale.”
“This milestone proves that QAD Adaptive delivers what we promise — execution, confidence, and outcomes at scale,” said Sanjay Brahmawar, CEO at QAD | Redzone. “Tenneco’s successful go-live shows what’s possible when manufacturers choose modernization over replication and move from systems of record to systems of action.”
To support adoption across its workforce, Tenneco is also leveraging QAD Digital Learning as part of its QAD Adaptive deployment. Embedded, role-based learning content allows users to train directly within the application in multiple languages, helping teams build confidence and accelerate adoption before and after go-live.
The successful deployment reinforces QAD | Redzone’s broader platform vision of enabling manufacturers to evolve from managing information to executing action. QAD Adaptive is built to reduce technical debt, simplify integrations, and support continuous improvement through modern cloud delivery and AI-enabled capabilities.
“What stands out about this deployment is that it went directly into full production at scale,” said Robert Kramer, Vice President and Principal Analyst, Enterprise Data, ERP, and SCM at Moor Insights & Strategy. “Most legacy ERP systems were built to record what already happened, not to help teams operate in real time. Tenneco’s go-live on QAD Adaptive shows how manufacturers can move beyond systems of record to systems of actions that spot disruption early, support faster decisions, and hold up under real production conditions.”
This initial site launch represents an important milestone in Tenneco’s transformation journey, with additional sites planned as the company continues consolidating systems, standardizing operations, and strengthening its manufacturing foundation for the future.

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street is hanging near its records on Tuesday following a mixed start to the latest profit reporting season for big U.S. companies. An update on inflation is meanwhile offering little momentum, either upward or downward, after coming in close to expectations.
The S&P 500 edged down by 0.1% after drifting between small gains and losses during the morning. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 287 points, or 0.6%, as of 11:45 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was up 0.1%. Both the S&P 500 and Dow are coming off all-time highs.
U.S. companies are under pressure to deliver strong growth in profits for the last three months of 2025 to justify the record-breaking runs for their stock prices. Analysts expect companies in the S&P 500 to deliver overall earnings per share that are 8.3% higher than a year earlier, according to FactSet.
JPMorgan Chase helped kick off the latest reporting season by delivering weaker profit and revenue than analysts expected. Its stock fell 3.1% and was one of the heaviest weights on the market, but the shortfall may have been partly because some analysts hadn't updated their estimates to account for the earnings hit taken due to the bank's purchase of the Apple Card credit card portfolio.
CEO Jamie Dimon sounded relatively optimistic about the U.S. economy, saying “consumers continue to spend, and businesses generally remain healthy.”
Delta Air Lines lost 3.2% despite reporting a stronger profit for the end of 2025 than analysts expected. Its revenue came up short of Wall Street’s expectations, as did the midpoint of its forecasted range for profit in 2026.
Chipotle Mexican Grill fell 3% after saying it's looking for a new chief marketing officer, a move that analysts said was a surprise.
On the winning side of Wall Street were several health care companies after they raised their financial forecasts at an industry conference with analysts.
Moderna jumped 12.1% for the biggest gain in the S&P 500 after saying it expects to report revenue for 2025 that's above the midpoint of the range it had forecast in November. It also offered updates on several products, including a seasonal flu vaccine that could see potential approvals beginning later this year.
Revvity rose 4.6% after life sciences company said it expects to report profit for 2025 that's above the top end of the forecasted range it had earlier given. Its forecast for revenue in the fourth quarter also topped analysts' expectations.
Outside of health care, L3Harris Technologies rose 2.2% after the defense company said it’s planning to break off its Missile Solutions business into a separate company through an initial public offering. As part of the plan, the U.S. government agreed to invest $1 billion in the business, which will convert into common stock in the IPO.
L3 Harris will keep a controlling interest in the Missile Solutions business following the IPO.
In the bond market, yields held relatively steady after Tuesday's inflation report strengthened expectations that the Federal Reserve may be able to cut its main interest rate at least twice in 2026 to shore up the job market.
Lower interest rates could make borrowing cheaper for U.S. households and boost prices for investments, but they could also worsen inflation at the same time. Tuesday’s report showed that U.S. consumers paid prices last month for gasoline, food and other costs of living that were 2.7% higher overall than a year earlier. That’s a touch worse than economists expected and above the Fed’s 2% target for inflation.
But, more encouragingly, an important underlying trend of inflation wasn’t as bad last month as economists expected. That could give the Fed more leeway to lower interest rates later.
“We’ve seen this movie before—inflation isn’t reheating, but it remains above target,” according to Ellen Zentner, chief economic strategist for Morgan Stanley Wealth Management.
The data helped the 10-year Treasury ease to 4.18% from 4.19% late Monday. The two-year Treasury yield, which more closely tracks expectations for what the Fed will do, inched down to 3.53% from 3.54%.
A day earlier, Treasury yields swung amid worries about the Federal Reserve's worsening feud with President Donald Trump. The concern is that the president's attacks on the Fed could result in a central bank that's less independent and more subservient to the White House. Experts say that in turn could lead to higher inflation over the long term.
In stock markets abroad, indexes were mixed in Europe and Asia.
Japan’s Nikkei 225 soared 3.1% for one of the world’s biggest moves and set a record, thanks in part to gains for technology-related stocks.
Investors expect Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who took office in October, to try to capitalize on her relatively high popularity to call a snap election, hoping to strengthen her mandate for higher government spending.
