Torch Technologies has an exciting opportunity for a
Project Scheduler, Senior located in Kettering, OH (Dayton, WPAFB) to support our EPASS GB contract. As part of the AFLCMC/GB Business and Enterprise Systems Directorate, the Maintenance Repair and Overhaul Initiative (MRO) is a DOTMLPF-P transformation and standardization of both the business processes and enabling materiel solution which provides Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC) with an integrated capability for planning, scheduling and executing organic depot maintenance to support agile planning, optimized workload assignment, resource allocation and integrated quality. The MRO materiel solution is a web-enabled system operating wholly within the .mil network. It implements a configured Oracle enterprise Business Suite (eBS) Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software product with 'complex MRO' being the core module for user interaction. This is supplemented with the integration of other necessary eBS suite modules plus Reports, Interfaces, Conversions and Extensions (RICE) objects which are deemed necessary to provide the required functionality. MRO implementation is divided into four software releases with capabilities to plan, schedule and execute organic depot maintenance processes within the commodities, electronics, missile and propulsion maintenance groups. MRO replaces dissimilar legacy systems and processes used across numerous geographic locations with a common enterprise business system that optimizes resource and workload assignments, facilitates what- if planning and frees-up logistics capacities aimed at improving capabilities availability to the warfighter. MRO operates within a Defense Information System Agency (DISA) hosted environment and interfaces with various legacy systems to support continuous operations within the depot maintenance environment.
