The Maintenance Repair and Overhaul Initiative+ (MROi+) contract
has a four and a half-year performance period.
As part of its work, AFS will develop and implement ERP
applications to manage integrated depot maintenance and Air Force
working capital fund financials. The solutions will be developed by
AFS within the Oracle Enterprise Business Suite and include key
modules such as Complex Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul, Discrete
Manufacturing, Production and Scheduling, Inventory, and Advanced
Supply Chain Planning.
“We are excited to help the Air Force modernize its maintenance
and logistics systems that will have a direct impact on enhanced
force readiness. Having access to accurate, consistent, and timely
data, along with improved business processes, will result in a
higher number of mission capable aircraft,” said Vince Vlasho, who
leads Accenture Federal Services’ Defense portfolio.
Accenture brings vast private-and public-sector experience with
complex ERP systems integration to its work with the Air Force. AFS
was recently awarded a contract to establish a new cloud-based
common infrastructure for Air Force ERP systems. AFS is also the
prime contractor for the Air Force Integrated Personnel and Payroll
System to modernize payroll, leave management and core human
resources functions for the Air Force.
"We look forward to once again working with the Air Force as it
continues to forge the way ahead in bringing commercial solutions
to modernize depot business operations. MROi+, as part of Common
Services, is a key element to the Air Force cloud enterprise
strategy going forward." said Susan Lawrence, Accenture Federal
Services managing director, Armed Forces Sector.
