POMS – Product Oriented Manufacturing Systems

    • Fast manufacturing response    Yes

    • High quality of production       Yes

    • High manufacturing resources utilization (Equip.&People)    Yes

    • High throughput rates    Yes 

    • Varying manufacturing capabilities   ?

FOMS – Function Oriented Manufacturing Systems

    • Fast manufacturing response    ?

    • High quality of production    ?

    • High manufacturing resources (Equip&People) utilization    ?

    • High throughput rates    ?

    • Varying manufacturing capabilities   Yes / ?

  Due to its product oriented nature we can expect POMS to have capabilities that cannot be matched by FOMS, as listed in the slide. However, apparently, due to such dedicated nature, one POMS configuration may be unfit to manufacture well products with varying manufacturing requirements. FOMS, apparently are capable to fit these requirements. However, the poor ability to answer to other important market demand requirements makes FOMS to be unable to acceptably explore such a capability.
