Performance-based logistics (PBL), also known as performance-based life-cycle product support, [1] is a defense acquisition strategy for cost-effective weapon system support which has been adopted in particular by the United States Department of Defense.

Performance-based logistics contracts are utilized when analysis indicates they can effectively reduce cost and improve performance. Performance-based logistics contracts will be structured to specific program needs and may evolve throughout the life cycle.

PBL is synonymous with performance-based life cycle product support, where outcomes are acquired through performance-based arrangements that deliver Warfighter requirements and incentivize product support providers to reduce costs through innovation.

Dec 21, 2017 · What is Performance Base Logistics (PBL)? PBL means outcome-oriented logistics: using an outcome (such as weapon system availability) as a measure of success. Outcomes differ from outputs in that outputs are direct products of a process. Outcomes are the result of many products and processes acting towards a common purpose.

Jul 19, 2021 · Performance-Based Logistics is a strategy that optimizes total system availability while minimizing cost and logistics footprint. Trade-off decisions involving cost, useful service, and effectiveness shall consider corrosion prevention and mitigation.

Aug 8, 2018 · Since its introduction to government contracting some 20 years ago, performance-based logistics (PBL) contracting has often delivered the intended result — to improve warfighter readiness through better weapon system availability and reliability, at lower cost.

Although Performance Based Logistics (PBL) sustainment strategies have been used successfully for the last decade, misperceptions persist. This article discusses what PBL is and is not; and what it can and cannot do for the military services, program managers, and …

Discover the efficacy of Performance-Based Logistics contracts in government procurement, particularly in defense acquisitions. Learn how this strategy incentivizes timely and cost-effective performance, improving system readiness and reducing logistical footprints.

Our current transformation relies heavily on implementing Performance-Based Logistics (PBL), a logistics concept that streamlines the supply chain and offers other advantages as well. To implement PBL, military leaders need clear guidance to manage the evolving process.
