CORPORATE INVESTMENTS
Abstract
The Corporate Investments activity is focused on accelerating defense industrial enterprise progress toward implementation of world-class industrial practices as well as advanced design and information systems that support weapon system development, production, and sustainment. Key emphasis areas include: 1) Benchmarking and accelerating the implementation of world-class industrial practices throughout the contractor base; 2) Demonstrating and validating advanced business practices and information technologies capable of streamlining management functions in all industrial base tiers; and 3) Leveraging information technologies in pursuit of tighter coupling of all defense industrial enterprise elements. Corporate Investment efforts create improvements to cost and cycle time for weapon system development, production, and repair. Additionally, Corporate Investments include the funding of recently identified near-term high priority affordability efforts for the following affordability platforms: DDG-51, CVN-78 Class Carrier, VIRGINIA Class Submarine (VCS), Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), as well as the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF). Funding increase from FY13 to FY14 supports additional investments in the advanced manufacturing enterprise area focused on above the shop floor and production planning activities. Reductions from FY 14 to FY 15 reflect DON decisions to re-baseline programs.
