GOLDesp for Performance-Based Logistics

GOLDesp™ is an integrated supply and maintenance management system that supports maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) for total lifecycle support management of complex assets and weapons platforms, including ground support equipment and components. It is specifically designed for the needs of the aftermarket — the care and feeding of weapons systems after they have been delivered to the customer or end user.

This new 'Enterprise Service Platform' offers a flexible, comprehensive suite of integrated modules capable of supporting both 'forward' flight-line activity and 'depth' or depot-level and supply wholesale logistics for military and contractor personnel in a variety of Performance Based Logistics (PBL) and weapons systems availability contracts. Because GOLDesp is truly an integrated maintenance and supply system, contractors using GOLDesp have the ability to track assets by configuration whether they be on wing, in supply, in repair or in transit.

Miro has increased the value proposition of GOLDesp as a decision support tool at all levels with the incorporation of dashboards and enhanced reporting and online analytical processing (OLAP). Optimization of the support chain is realized through better data visibility between maintenance and supply across multiple organizations and more advanced inventory planning and optimization tools, such as:

• Dashboards and exception-based reporting and business process monitoring.
• Product life-cycle management including full maintenance planning and work recording
• End item configuration management and maintenance
• Repair management and recording
• Inventory and material management
• Asset tracking for Government Property and company-owned property
• Capability to permit a contractor to be an Inventory Control Point (ICP) to receive and respond to MILSTRIP-formatted supply requisitions directly from the battlefield
• Failure and trend analysis for improving engineering and preventative maintenance

Other key GOLDesp features and capabilities include:

• Combat proven, fully deployable maintenance solution – supports multiple, remote independent operations with automated re-synchronization with central database.
  
• Interoperability - provides tri-service capability (Army, Navy and Air Force) for aircraft engineering and asset management on a single, networked system.
  
• Advanced technology – GOLDesp is Java EE compliant and based on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA); scalable, open-source platform. Proven transaction engine.
  
• Scalability – proven ability to support as small as 8 users and as large as 10,000 users
  
• Connectivity - easy integration with existing corporate infrastructure (portals, dashboards, security, etc.). Extensive set of APIs to seamlessly integrate with military and defense contractor systems.
