Amid U.S. Navy Secretary and 2019 Wash100 Award recipient Richard Spencer’s call to reinforce the capabilities of the service branch, the Naval Supply Systems Command plans to update its business practices to address supply chain gaps. NAVSUP will foster relationships with partners through the use of key performance indicators and executive forums to share information on supply chain concerns and develop strategic efforts through the Strategic Supplier Relationship Management program, the Navy said Friday.
“Through more proactive and collaborative sharing of information, bottlenecks and vulnerabilities can be avoided,” said Karen Fenstermacher, executive for strategic initiatives at NAVSUP.
In addition, the command utilized qualitative and quantitative methods to validate potential partners including Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin.
