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 shipbuilding affordability efforts for the four major platforms - DDG-1000, CVN-21, VCS, and LCS. The funding decrease from FY 2010 to FY 2011 will eliminate several high payoff ship reduction efforts supporting LCS and VIRGINIA Class submarines. Moreover, planned work such as developing pervasive technology for improved supply chain management and model based ship production will be reduced. The reduction of funding from FY10 to FY11 reflects programmatic realignments to other Navy priorities.
