Your partner in shipbuilding performance

Fellow shipbuilders that are as passionate about the performance of your shipyard as you are

Our Approach

Our team is comprised of senior shipbuilding veterans and mid-career professionals to bring both experience and energy to every project. We operate not as outside advisors, but as a seamless extension of your own team. Together we tailor solutions that respect your unique processes, team dynamics, and company culture. Our role is to supply the technical depth and tools to reach your goals, while ensuring the ultimate success and long-term ownership remains with your team.

Get Started

We are honored to support your critical mission.

What you do every day matters to the safety and freedom of the nation. We are proud to help you implement strategy, processes and tools that enable delivery of your ships on schedule and within budget.

Shipbuilding is unique.

Different from other large-scale manufacturing, the learning curve can be lengthy for new employees. We work with you to create processes and tools that stick and are repeatable for individual contributors, front line supervisors and senior management.

Our Services

  • Material Availability

    From requirements subcontracts to material planning, we have the experience, tools and techniques to enable your team to achieve material availability goals across all categories of material including major equipment, build-to-print and commodities.

  • Cost Performance

    Initial bid estimate, subcontract cost controls, and budget EAC management—our team will help you to develop realistic and competitive material bids as well as manage your subcontracts to meet budget and revenue goals.

  • Compliance

    As responsible stewards of tax payer dollars, your compliance to federal acquisition and homeland security guidelines is critical. We can help you implement business controls, procedures and internal audit practices that are easy for your employees to follow.

  • Engineering Integration

    Design is one of the largest influencers of construction costs. Our team can work with you to meet standardization goals on a new design or improve performance through targeted opportunities on a completed design.

  • Expediting

    True supply chain visibility isn't found in a spreadsheet; it’s found on the shop floor. Our on-site expediting services provide the boots-on-the-ground oversight necessary to validate progress, troubleshoot hurdles, and keep your most complex subcontracts moving toward on-time delivery.

  • Staff Augmentation

    Simultaneously growing your team, improving performance and meeting current commitments can be daunting. Having an experienced team work alongside your staff to perform day to day activities can sometimes provide the relief you need to move ahead.

  • “The Maritime Supply Operations Group has had an enormous impact on establishing Seaspan Shipyards as a mature process and data driven organization. They brought leadership and insight that drove integration across supply chain and engineering teams and enabled us to drive to 80% common parts and 100% parts availability across two concurrent ship design and builds. Their ability to work seamlessly across our management teams without the “Consultant Label” that often is present with supporting organizations was pivotal in our success. Success comes from teamwork and Maritime Supply Operations Group put the team first. We could not have done it without them.”

    — Jim Carr, Senior Vice President of Engineering

  • “The team is highly skilled and experienced with a proven track record of improving supply chain performance. Leah is a trusted and highly valued supply chain, professional, who has actively contributed to the development and maturity of our shipyard supply chain team, and associated performance indicators. She is also a delight to work with!”

    —Kate Morton, Vice President of Supply Chain
