NAVSUP looks for ways to turn data into better business decisions

Naval Supply Systems Command is not suffering from a lack of data. But the information it holds about its responsibilities to move food, parts and supplies around the world tends to be unstructured, trapped in legacy IT systems, and not used on a day-to-day basis to help the command make better business decisions.
NAVSUP is exploring ways to change that via a pair of prototype programs, both focused on the way the command does its contracting.
Kurt Wendelken, NAVSUP’s assistant commander for supply chain IT talks with Federal News Radio’s Jared Serbu about the prototypes, and the workforce’s role in helping to develop them.
