HOW IT WORKS

NAVSEA stood up nine pillars – or focus areas – of naval warship maintenance and modernization. These pillars are led by Flags and SESs accountable for driving change and removing barriers for the mechanic to be more productive at the deck plate. These leaders are held accountable every week for performance and improvements in their area. Through these pillars, we have more senior Navy leadership support than we have ever had in the past. The Pillars include Engineering, Planning, Material, Fleet Ops, Waterfront, Inside Shops, SY Resourcing, Infrastructure, and IT.
