Honeywell's POMS Scheduling System
Complete Production Scheduling for
Healthcare and CPG Manufacturing
 Strengthen the heart of your supply chain with POMS
advanced planning and scheduling tools.
POMS
Scheduling System delivers world class finite capacity
scheduling to the POMS MES system. The Scheduling System
features a graphical Gantt Chart with real-time drag
and drop functionality. Underneath the hood is a high
performance-scheduling engine, which guarantees delivery
of an optimized scheduling solution.
The value of the scheduling engine is further multiplied
by tight linking with POMS order management and execution.
This integrated production management system allows
the schedule to immediately reflect the realities of
the plant floor. Schedule changes are rapidly communicated
across all aspects of manufacturing using order management
and the web.
The POMS scheduling system also provides What-if?
Capabilities for evaluating options, Standard ERP integration
and performance reporting.
Advanced Factory Scheduling
Today's
manufacturing environment demands a lean, responsive
supply chain that allows both internal and external
collaboration. ERP systems solve part of this problem
with long term planning and estimates of production
capabilities.
Most ERP systems lack the capability to plan detailed
activities on the plant floor to truly optimize plant
performance. Advanced Factory Scheduling (AFS) applications
fill the gap between the high level planning and the
detailed plant floor activities.
AFS systems allow you to identify and load the real
constraints while maintaining optimal upstream buffers
and streamlining downstream activities . This 1-2-3
punch assures that you are maximizing plant yield to
deliver the promises of the ERP system.
Benefits of Integrated Scheduling
Optimized use of Capital Equipment
and Resources
Additional capacity with no capital investment!
The POMS Scheduling system can help you reduce cycle
time and optimize asset utilization effectively giving
you additional production capacity. This additional
capacity can be used to increase output, reduce production
costs and provide additional flexibility in manufacturing
schedules. The scheduling system will fully load bottleneck
resources and reduce idle time so that you factory is
operating at peak efficiency.
Improved Order Delivery Accuracy
Accurate promise dates results in better planning
and enables reduced inventory and improved
customer service levels.
Orders
from ERP are based on average production lead times.
By creating a more detailed plan of the order execution
you can deliver accurate, realistic promise dates back
to the ERP system. These numbers can then be used to
more accurately calculated required inventory buffer
levels required to maintain or improve customer service.
If problems occur on the shop floor the ERP system
can
be notified immediately with updated delivery results
and re-planning can take place before the problem reaches
a customer.
Reduced Cycle times
Agile, responsive manufacturing helps to reduce costs
and enables quick response to changing demand
resulting in increased sales and market share.
By making the schedule visible to all manufacturing
the Scheduling system ensures that the right orders
are being made at the right time. Idle times due to
poor coordination are eliminated and orders can be processed
quickly and efficiently. Expediting and overtime can
be eliminated and orders can be combined to reduce wasted
set-up and clean up times.
Rapid Return on Investment
Higher customer satisfaction, plant utilization result
in increased sales and revenue. Reducing inventory,
batch cycle times, excessive set-up ,cleaning and overtime
result in lower manufacturing costs. Higher revenue
and lowers costs quickly generate a return on investment.

Production Planners/Schedulers will use
the POMS scheduling system to optimize plant performance
across all aspects of production.
Production Supervisors will use POMS
scheduling system to monitor the plant floor activities
and quickly view the impact of production problems on
the production schedule.
