As the Navy expands the number of two data-driven programs that generate better readiness, there’s increasing support at the deck plate level to apply these principles across the fleet, the vice chief of naval operations told USNI News.
Adm. Bill Lescher said the Performance to Plan (P2P) and Naval Sustainment System (NSS) programs together have helped the Navy let the data guide them to changes that could generate the biggest boost to performance. Though the Navy has seven formal P2P programs and three associated NSS programs today, Lescher said the “get real” and “get better” mindset is percolating up and down the chain of command and inspiring a lot of unit commanders to reach out about applying the principles to improve their unit
