Strategic Sourcing and Supplier Development
The Strategic Sourcing and Supplier Development Department is dedicated to developing a healthy supply base to support Newport News Shipbuilding planned and emergent shipbuilding needs in support of our customer, the US Navy. We do this by utilizing continuous improvement tools with the supply base to improve quality, increase capacity, and encourage lean manufacturing and front office processes, compress lead times, and lower acquisition costs.
Strategic Sourcing is responsible for managing market intelligence and research activities as well as developing forecasting tools to identify the most pressing supply base concerns and risks. We also identify potential financial, capability, and capacity constraints within the supply base. Finally, we watch for critical industry and economic trends that could impact the supply base as well as NNS.
Mission
Provide sourcing solutions, marketplace intelligence and supplier development through critical strategic analysis, an agile approach and visionary leadership.

NOTE: Model Based Disclosures (VWI and PDF+JT) are released with intended contractual dimensions. The vendor may use the native measurement tools from the relevant CAD rendering program to obtain additional measurements, however, measurements obtained in this manner are for Information Purposes Only.
Visual Work Instruction (VWI)
SAP provides a useful reference on its measurement tool for Visual Enterprise Viewer (VEV) which covers measurements, delta measurements, repositioning, cross sections and modification of global measurement settings. This reference can be found within SAP’s documentation here.
PDF + JT
Siemens provides a useful reference on its measurement tool for JT2Go version 12.3 on its documentation site. Topics covered include measurement of single parts, distances and angles, approximations, and preferences. This reference can be accessed here.
Visual Work Instruction (VWI)
A Visual Work Instruction (VWI) is a CAD Model based representation of technical instructions and product manufacturing information. Outsourced VWIs are intended for use as walkthroughs of the relevant details for the scope of work. This is accomplished through presentation of a product’s build/assembly sequence and design intent.
VWIs are created using the SAP Visual Enterprise.RH file format and are used across both Carrier (CVN) and Submarine (VCS/VPM) programs at Newport News Shipbuilding.
Visit our How to Download section for the direct link to the software needed to render VWIs through SAP’s free Visual Enterprise Viewer (VEV) program.
Siemens PSD+JT
PDF+JT is a 3D file format similar in form and function to an ISO standard 3D PDF. PDF+JTs are created by our program partner, Electric Boat, and used to convey technical product information in both a PDF and CAD model based format. These documents are assembled with relevant product manufacturing information (PMI) similar to paper based drawings with the additional benefit of embedded lightweight .JT model files for use as a visual aid.
PDF+JTs are created through use of Siemens software and are used for the Columbia (CLB) and Virginia Payload Module (VPM) programs at both Electric Boat and Newport News Shipbuilding.
Visit our How to Download section for the direct link to the software needed to render PDF+JT files through Siemens free JT2Go program.
Please use the following form to notify us of any issues with the tools used. If it can be addressed by our technical support team, we would be happy to help.
