Nagpur: The Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha PVSM AVSM VM ADC on Thursday (12 May 16) inaugurated the Electronics Maintenance Management System (e-MMS) at Air Force Station Pune. Project e-MMS was conceptualised to address the need of automating maintenance management process in the IAF. Post implementation, the system would transform the manner in which the maintenance activities are executed and managed by the IAF. The day marks an important milestone in the history of the IAF.
The scope of e-MMS implementation in the IAF extends to all echelons in the maintenance hierarchy and functioning. The application will seamlessly connect Squadrons, Wings, Commands and Air HQ. According to the IAF, post implementation of the project, maintenance work environment is expected to become more efficient and operational availability of all fleets/systems can be monitored in real time at various hierarchical levels. Software support tools of the system would help to act proactively, reduce down times, achieve increased operational preparedness and enhance maintenance safety aspects.
