BOSTON, MA, Oct 20, 2026 – The U.S. Air Force (USAF) has renewed its use of PTC’s Servigistics software to plan service parts inventory across its global supply chain and support aircraft and system availability. The renewal falls under the Enterprise Supply Chain Analysis, Planning, and Execution (ESCAPE) program.
The Air Force first selected Servigistics in 2017. Servigistics combines forecasting, inventory optimization across multiple supply chain levels, supply planning, machine learning and AI.
“Readiness depends on our ability to anticipate requirements and make effective supply chain decisions in an increasingly complex operational environment,” said Abigail Strobell, Deputy Chief, systems integration division, U.S. Air Force. “Our continued use of Servigistics enables us to build on the progress we have made in modernizing service parts planning and strengthen the supply chain capabilities that support aircraft availability.”
PTC described the renewal as an opportunity to expand the use of AI and exception-based management, which directs planners’ attention to decisions requiring intervention. Potential applications include identifying emerging supply issues, evaluating alternatives and automating workflows.
