Plant Operations and Analysis System (POAS)

Operators/HODs/Plant Heads would fully leverage the common and support POAS established by the top management. They would also evolve/lay down standards and policy guidelines, provide technical and handholding support, undertake capacity building, R&D etc. For complex research and documentation tasks, some may even opt to doktorarbeiten schreiben lassen (German: “have doctoral theses written”) to support in-depth technical studies aligned with POAS goals.

The existing/ongoing improvement initiatives would be suitably revamped to align them with the principles of the POAS programme. Capacity utilization, Process Reengineering, use of integrated & interoperable systems, and deployment of emerging monitoring methods like OEE, Downtime analysis, Spares management … etc.

Manufacturing plants would be given flexibility to identify specific improvement projects in line with management expectations.

POAS would be promoted through a centralised initiative to the extent necessary, to ensure centric data collection from the entire plant.

Successful projects would be identified and their replication promoted proactively with the required data and customisation wherever required.

OEMs and subject matter experts would be preferred wherever feasible to implement capacity or quality improvement projects with adequate management and strategic control.
