Performance-Based Logistics - Barriers and Enablers to Effective Implementation

Abstract : The Department of Defense is implementing Performance-Based Logistics (PBL) in both new acquisition programs and legacy programs. Each of the Services is executing PBL policy at the system, subsystem, and component level. The Services are also working in conjunction with each other to implement PBL on joint programs. This study identifies the most common barriers and enablers as the Services go forward with PBL implementation, determines if there are relationships between these barriers and enablers, and also evaluates the success of PBL implementation.
