The challenges

What it really hinges on here.

  1. 01

    Call-off quantities shift weekly and ripple through the plan

  2. 02

    On-time delivery is measured – and discussed at the annual review

  3. 03

    Complaints demand structured answers: 8D, actions, effectiveness

Suppliers under audit

Evidence before the customer asks.

An automotive supplier is assessed by its customers all the time: delivery dates, complaints, evidence. If you want to answer at the annual review with figures of your own, you need them from live operations – not from a spreadsheet someone put together the night before. POM starts with the data that is created anyway when orders are planned, produced, inspected and delivered.

POM Analytics shows delivery performance from live operations, with a time axis against the previous year or a rolling twelve months. Every tile can be opened down to the single document. If a call-off shifts, drag the order on the planning board and see the schedule risk as a traffic light.

POM Quality defines per article and process step which characteristics to check with which limits; the server decides whether a value is in order. A quality block stops completion and dispatch. At goods receipt, goods subject to inspection go to blocked stock, and a supplier first article is recognised.

When a complaint comes in, POM Complaints distributes the work along a follow-up path – with 8D report, root cause analysis and actions with effectiveness check. If the cause lies in a supplier batch, POM Traceability shows forwards and backwards where it went; the affected-items list names orders and customers.

From order to key figure

How a series part runs through POM.

  1. 01

    Order and planning

    The order is created with article, quantity and delivery date. If the customer shifts quantities or dates, drag the order on the planning board; schedule risk shows as a traffic light.

  2. 02

    Goods receipt with batch

    POM records batches at goods receipt with a FIFO proposal and GS1 scan. Goods subject to inspection go to blocked stock until released.

  3. 03

    Series with inspection plan

    Start, stop and quantity are booked at the terminal, scrap with a mandatory reason. The inspection plan asks for the characteristics per process step.

  4. 04

    Complaint with 8D

    A complaint becomes a record with an 8D report. QA reviews with a deadline; rework, credit note and replacement delivery run as hand-overs.

  5. 05

    Delivery and key figures

    Delivery note and invoice are created from the process. POM Analytics shows delivery performance per customer.

Quick answers

Questions from practice.

Can POM receive call-offs via EDI?

From December 2026: POM Warenwirtschaft takes over EDI call-offs together with POM Integration. With POM Shops & Marketplaces you already receive customer orders via EDIFACT today and send confirmation, delivery advice and invoice. POM Integration takes over orders from files or via REST, with a preview.

How do I prove inspections in an audit?

Inspection records in POM Quality cannot be changed; a correction is only possible as a replacement record with a reason. If a gauge is overdue, this is noted permanently, and the backward report answers what was used to measure.

Can I pass the 8D report on to my customer?

The 8D report is attached to the complaint and comes as a PDF from the layout designer. An 8D cover e-mail straight from POM is not available yet.

A customer rejects a delivery – which others are affected?

POM Traceability shows backwards what the rejected parts were made from, and forwards where the same batches went otherwise. The affected-items list names the orders and customers. The prerequisite is the right tracking level on the article.

How do I show a customer my own delivery performance?

POM Analytics calculates on-time delivery from the orders in the system and shows it with a time axis, per customer if you wish. Every figure can be opened down to the document, and statistics exports provide the values for the supplier review.
