Performance Based Logistics 2009

Maximizing Reliability And Availability To The End-User Through Performance Based Lifecycle Support

Performance Based Logistics has become one of the Defense Industry’s key strategies to extend the lifespan and improve the reliability of today’s defense systems. Increased deployments and shifting acquisition budgets are driving logisticians to minimize system downtimes and improve warfighter support using innovative PBL approaches.

PBL 2009 is the only conference that brings you cross-service and industry experts with backgrounds in logistics, maintenance, acquisition and system engineering to prepare for the future of outcome based contracting. This year’s program delivers relevant case studies and strategies to help you implement PBL, providing the logistics workforce with the most innovative tools to overcome your challenges, with presentations on:

• Evolving PBL policies and strategies to understand the path ahead
• Managing the PBL team to make sure that communication is efficient and transparent
• Measuring and reporting PBL metrics effectively to ensure that reliability and availability goals are met (exceeded)
• Applying lessons learned from leading PBL programs

The core challenges facing logisticians and directors of sustainment in the DoD and industry include:

A lack of policy from the DoD and the services reflecting a clear path to PBL implementation

Difficulties complying to Title 10 and the 50-50 rule while minimizing the repair times

Getting senior leadership on the industry side to engage in PBL despite the risks

Engaging 3rd and 4th tier suppliers to become involved in the PBL process

Bridging the communication between the logistics community and the acquisition community
