TheMinistry of Defencehas awarded EDS a
contract to roll out an improvedsupply chain systemas part of its
Management of Material in Transit (MMiT) project.
The project aims to provide the MOD with more accurate
information on the delivery of supplies, speed up their delivery,
and reduce costs through less duplication.
The system is also expected to increase the confidence of
frontline commanders, in reassuring them that they will get the kit
they need.
EDS will deliver the
supply chain management system using Supply Chain Consulting's
Viewlocity Control Tower Platform (CTP).
This will be used together with a performance analysis and
reporting system built around
SAS Enterprise Intelligence Platform.
MMiT is expected to be used in the field by the middle of
2009.
