SAN DIEGO, March 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Tapestry
Solutions, Inc., a Boeing Company [NSYE: BA], and prime
contractor Kay & Associates of Buffalo Grove, Ill., will modernize
maintenance processes for the Kuwait Air Force (KAF) under a
contract modification from the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR).
The efforts include automating and standardizing the KAF's
maintenance management infrastructure with GOLDesp Maintenance,
Repair and Overhaul (MRO) software.
GOLDesp was successfully implemented for the KAF F/A-18 fighter
attack aircraft under the original contract awarded from NAVAIR in
June 2011.
"The implementation of our enterprise-level software will
significantly reduce operational costs for the Kuwait Air Force,
while improving their productivity and equipment availability,"
said Robin Wright, President and
CEO, Tapestry Solutions. "Receiving this contract is a significant
milestone for our company as it demonstrates the Kuwait Air Force's
confidence in our software and services."
GOLDesp provides automated workflow tools to manage MRO for
military and commercial customers. It enables maintenance crews to
accurately track and manage inventory through the supply chain,
improving total asset visibility of movements and repairs.
With GOLDesp, users can quickly schedule and record maintenance
actions; evaluate maintainability and reliability; and control and
update configurations – right down to a component's part and serial
number. It manages each step of the repair process to reduce
repair cycle times and costs.
GOLDesp is an industry leading solution that supports MRO &
supply chain management for lifecycle support of complex assets for
air, land, sea and space. It has been implemented as a
tri-service logistics management solution by military organizations
around the world. Defense contractors and Original Equipment
Manufacturers, or OEMs, have also successfully adopted GOLDesp as a
key element in their sustainment strategy.
