POMS MES for Pharmaceuticals                        

Mangement of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Operations from Dock to Stock 

Honeywell’s POMS MES solution is a manufacturing execution system (MES) that manages the production operations of FDA-regulated pharmaceutical companies at every step of the process—from materials receipt to the finished goods warehouse.

POMS MES is one of the most widely used and validated MES systems in the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-regulated industries, with unparalleled power and breadth of functionality. Implementations of POMS MES have been inspected and accepted by the FDA and other national regulatory agencies worldwide.

POMS MES ensures your manufacturing operations are capable of delivering on your enterprise’s e-business supply chain commitments. You manufacture and package products consistently, at lower costs, and in shorter timeframes, while meeting regulatory requirements.

POMS MES BENEFITS

• Improved throughput
• Reduced operating costs
• Streamlined validation efforts
• Increased schedule attainment
• Greater manufacturing responsiveness

Key Activities Addressed by POMS MES

Comprehensive Management

From creating master batch records for products, to executing processes consistently across manufacturing, to measuring plant productivity—POMS MES covers all activities and requirements.

POMS MES provides you with the ability to view, control and track all aspects of production on the plant floor, including materials, labels, work-in-process, equipment, work instructions, facilities, labor and documentation. The system manages these aspects through every step of the manufacturing process—from initial receipt of raw materials through weighing/dispensing, blending and packaging activities. By guiding operators and equipment through the manufacturing process with interactive, step-by-step dialog, POMS MES ensures your products are manufactured and packaged consistently at the lowest possible cost.

Creating the Master Batch Record

The first step toward successful execution is the definition of the master batch record or product recipe. POMS MES is unmatched by any other electronic batch record (EBR) solution in the industry, because of its ease of use and its comprehensive approach to batch record creation and management.

Other Advantages:
• Designed for the Process Specialist
• Comprehensive Process Definition
• Process Modeling Basis
• Reusability of batch record components
• Version and Revision control

Executing the Process

The key to consistent execution is the system’s Interactive Process Director. The Interactive Process Director guides operators and equipment through all of the steps of manufacturing and packaging, ensuring that the right specifications are consistently executed and that errors are driven out of the process. Broad exception- and deviation-handling capabilities are provided, with support for multiple levels of escalation.

Other Process Execution Support:
• Order and Batch Management
• Materials Management
• Weigh and Dispense Operations
• Exception and Deviation Management
• Asset Tracking and Management
• Quality Data Management
• Data Input Source Discrimination
• FDA Electronic Signature Compliance (per 21 CFR Part 11)
• Complete Compliance Record
• KPI Measurements
• Materials Traceability and Genealogy
• Asset Utilization Tracking
• Ease of Change

IIntegration with other Systems

POMS EAI Modules™ provide integration with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, Supply Chain Planning systems, Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), Document Management Systems and equipment control systems, so you gain two-way communication between the plant and the rest of your enterprise. The translation of plant floor data to enterprise formats makes POMS MES extremely valuable, not only as a system for managing the plant and leveraging your supply chain, but also for providing information to executives for smarter, faster decision making.
