The US Army has selected IFS Applications as the manufacturing and maintenance software for its Logistics Modernization Program (LMP) at all of the army's arsenals, depots and ammunition plants. AMC (Army Materiel Command) manages a maintenance and production 'business' that easily equates to a Fortune 100 industrial organisation. Hence, agility and scope to match a very broad array of manufacturing and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) activities was a key factor in the army's selection process.
IFS Applications is expected to bring additional efficiency to the US Army's refurbishment plans for assets, such as ground vehicles, missile and radar support systems, engines, transmissions, and fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft used in ongoing military operations.
The army plans to begin rollout of IFS Applications at its Corpus Christi depot, followed by Rock Island arsenal and the Joint Technology and Manufacturing Centre at Watervliet arsenal.
Additional depots included in the project are Anniston, Red River, Tobyhanna, Letterkenny and Sierra. Following those, IFS Applications is slated for implementation at army ammunition plants in 2014.
