Performance based logistics (PBL) is an innovative approach to acquisition that represents a cultural shift away from buying parts, to buying performance successful deployment of PBL strategy could signify definitive results for your organization. The 2001 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) identified logistics transformation as a key transformation pillar. Specifically, the QDR mandated logistics enterprise integration, a reduction in logistics demand, and a reduction in the cost of logistics. One tool the Department of Defense (DOD) identified for use in achieving these goals is performance-based logistics (PBL). Using research findings and available scholarly studies of PBL implementation, this article will examine PBL as a means of sustainment, beginning with a working definition and concept of PBL and examination of DOD and service policy, as well as key components of PBL implementation, to include stakeholder roles and responsibilities, business case analysis, development of performance metrics, and barriers and enablers to implementation.
