Press Logistics Group selected to assist the ADF on Joint Project 2077
Press Logistics Group is pleased to announce under contract to Nova Systems, PLG has been selected to assist the Australian Defence Force on Joint Project 2077 – The Military Integrated Logistic Information System (MILIS) in the role of Capability Coordination Support.
MILIS is a single logistic information system to enable end-to-end management of Defence’s integrated supply chain. MILIS is designed to support logistic processes for Australian Defence Force units and headquarters in both barracks and field environments. This includes support to deployed forces operating in locations with interrupted communications and will lay the foundation for improved financial management, integrated supply, inventory management, maintenance, movements and distribution throughout the Australian Defence Organisation.
Nicholas Press, PLG MD, commented, “PLG is very pleased with our recent engagement by Nova to assist with the MILIS implementation. I take great pride in the fact that many organisations in the Australian marketplace are recognising the quality and experience of our people. We look forward to assisting the Australian Defence Force and Nova on this important project.”
Press Logistics Group win a place on the Defence Simulation Support Panel
Press Logistics Group is pleased to announce as a part of Nova Systems’ comprehensive bid, Nova and PLG have been successful in its tendering for a position on the Defence Simulation Support Panel, a multi-year contracting panel for Australian Defence simulation work.
The primary purpose of the Defence Simulation Support Panel is for the ADF to plan for and then conduct the disposal of Defence capabilities. Defence endeavours to squeeze all the available life out of a capability and simulation provides an excellent tool to help determine the when and how to remove a capability from Defence’s inventory as well as analyse the effect of doing so. The use of simulation assists the ADF in reducing costs, mitigating risks and assist in the smooth transition to a new capability where that is necessary.
PLG applied and was successful in the following four areas:
1. Simulation Business and Process Analysis
2. Project Management
3. Integrated Logistic Support and Life Cycle Management of simulation systems
4. Delivery of Training and Simulation Operations
Nicholas Press, PLG MD, commented, “PLG is excited to continue to grow our relationship with Nova and build a long and very positive relationship with the Australian Defence Simulation Office (ADSO). We are delighted with this result. We look forward to assisting the Australian Defence Organisation on their training and simulation needs now and into the future.”
