The DoD has identified Performance Based Logistics (PBL) as its preferred approach for supporting and sustaining defense weapon systems, subsystems, and components for the last 15 years. This research effort references DoD PBL statute, policy, and guidance regarding appropriate application of PBL and identifies impediments in implementing PBL consistent with that documented foundation. The net result of this research should enable the DoD to plan and take appropriate actions to alleviate or eliminate these impediments, leading to expanded successful use of PBL across the Department.
This research was partially sponsored by Lockheed Martin.
