Tool Room Manager Application Software Delivered to U.S. Air Force (USAF AMC)
Under the technical leadership of Mr. Ken McGillvary of the Intermodal and Logistics Systems Planning and Integration Division, the Volpe Center delivered Tool Room Manager (TRM) application software to support the Air Mobility Command (AMC) of the U.S. Air Force. The TRM application accomplishes oversight and management of unique and specialized tools used in the repair of strategic airlift aircraft. Developed and documented by the Volpe Center, the TRM application and documentation were delivered in mid-July to AMC's lead technology base, Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. Mr. McGillvary organized stress testing of the software, and updated the application and its supporting documentation as necessary in response to this testing. Having successfully implemented the updated TRM application at Dover, the Volpe Center is now conducting a "roll out" of the application to the Defense Information Services Agency who will operate and maintain the Volpe-developed application.
