Maj Gen H. Brent Baker, USAF (Ret.), John A. Muckstadt, and Maj Gen George Babbitt, USAF (Ret.), "Naval Supply Chains in a Connected World"  

High-level processes such as the Supply Chain Operations Model connects assets, processes, people, and resource by a digital cord with the Internet of Things.  Software solutions that provide an end-to-end solution can be procured with the idea of eliminating numerous old and outdated software tools that provide a single function at best. 

David Hua, "Risk Based Inspection and Maintenance"  

Risk based inspection is a process that uses risk techniques to focus inspection and maintenance efforts, applying risk to help define where to inspect, when to inspect, and how to inspect a ship throughout its lifecycle.  A service life extension program using risk-based inspection and effective maintenance has been employed on over 70 U.S. Navy and NOAA vessels, and could be readily applied to any combatant or auxiliary naval vessel.
