Seaport-E LogoThis effort, collectively referred to as SeaPort, took a three pronged approach (listed on the right)!

In response to declining budgets, the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and its Warfare Centers, which are responsible for the acquisition of all U.S. Navy ships and shipboard systems, targeted a reduction in the cost of services for its headquarters’ Directorates, Program Executive Offices (PEO’S), and field activities.

As the first major step towards achieving this goal, NAVSEA embarked on a business process re-engineering effort to maximize the efficiency and economy of support service procurement.
