Sea Enterprise

Sea Enterprise is one of the three supporting processes in "Sea Power 21". It involves Navy headquarters, the systems commands, and every commander throughout the Navy in its goals of improving organizational alignment, refining requirements, and reinvesting savings to help the Navy recapitalize and transform. Sea Enterprise also provides a means to scrutinize the Navy's spending practices from the top line all the way to the bottom dollar.

Sea Enterprise delivers the right force, with the right readiness, at the right cost. It will improve productivity, deliver higher return on investments, and reduce cycle times. The Sea Enterprise process will foster a culture of continuous improvement, produce better products, and deliver the right force structure for the future of the Navy.

The "Navy" must improve recapitalization investment. The Navy's goals for cost reductions are similar to the industry standard, which is 5-10%. Sea Enterprise will require and promote a new way of acting and thinking about how to improve effectiveness and maximize the Navy's return on investment.

Lean-Six Sigma is one method for identifying prosess improvement within the Navy's structure. NAVSEA's SeaPort [http://www.seaport.navy.mil/] is one contactual method for harnessing United States' industry to technology improvements.

Opportunities for substantial cost savings often lie beyond the boundaries of any single organization, command, unit, or office. For that reason, Sea Enterprise will look across organizations to identify all opportunities. This enterprise-wide view will help create the most efficient organizational structures. It will enable the review of every structure and process with an eye toward breaching boundaries, eliminating redundancy, and reducing overhead.
