POMS MES for Regulated CPG Industries

POMS MES Interactive Operating Instructions

POMS MES Interactive Operating Instructions is a function- and feature-rich portion of the application.

The POMS MES Interactive Operating Instructions functionality is where manufacturing execution commands are presented to the operator in the form of a manufacturing recipe (actionlist), then capturing data and events as the recipe is traversed. At the conclusion of the recipe, an electronic batch record of the Interactive Operating Instructions is created indicating all data entered, or changed, as part of the recipe, and any ‘out of spec’ or exceptions encountered during the Interactive Operating Instructions.

POMS MES Interactive Operating Instructions functionality includes:

• Recipe creation and approval
• Interactive operating Instructions in the form of an actionlist
• Order entry
• Work assignment of the recipe
• Asset assignment and execution within the recipe
• Scale and balance management
• Optional SCADA Interface
• Device (such as pH meter) management
• Electronic batch record
• Electronic Signatures
• Exception handling and documentation of an exception and it’s resolution
• Lot validation for proper expire, status and assay values during the recipe
• Shipping of the final product

POMS MES allows for a recipe author to create an actionlist of recipe instructions to guide the manufacturing operator through complex operations and data intensive processes. During the execution of the action list, compliance data is captured, manufacturing data is captured, and lot integrity is validated, all while an electronic batch record of compliance is generated.

POMS MES has libraries of action list ‘steps’ (the toolbox) which are capable of being used by the author to create an action list which functionally mimics the current manufacturing practices of a plant.  In addition, if the client needs to have a ‘special’ step, the Honeywell-POMS services personnel will assist in creating a step for the ‘toolbox’.  The existing steps are best manufacturing practices designed to meet the manufacturing needs of the recipe.

Benefits

The benefits of implementing POMS MES Interactive Operating Instructions are:

• Electronic actionlist of the recipe steps guiding the operator through complex operations in a managed and controlled fashion (more operational discipline)
• Manage exceptions and ‘out of tolerance’ conditions when they occur
• Record compliance data during the recipe
• Create and approve recipe separate from Interactive Operating Instructions
• Ability to create an electronic batch record of the recipe operations after the Interactive Operating Instructions is completed.
• Create a lot genealogy of the materials consumed in the recipe and genealogy of the product created by the recipe
• Capability (if implemented) for interfaces to ERP and PLC/SCADA
• Asset and material management within the recipe
• Labeling
• Reusable recipes and actionlists
• POMS execution level bills of material and equipment
