The purpose of this planned project is to devise a method to evaluate H-1 components as possible candidates for Performance Based Logistics contracts. The objectives of this project are: (1) provide an overview of the H-1 program; (2) provide an overview of Performance Based Logistics contracts for component support; and (3) explore methods of identifying components as PBL candidates specifically for the H-1 community, through an analysis of readiness data, interviews with subject matter...

The purpose of this MBA project is to evaluate and assess the metrics, incentives and other terms and conditions of the Performance Based Logistics (PBL) contract between Naval Aviation Inventory Control Point (NAVICP) and Honeywell in support of FA-18/S-3/P-3/C-2 Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to determine if the contractual terms and conditions established are effective in facilitating and encouraging the full potential of PBL savings and improved performance. PBL is an acquisition reform...

The purpose of this MBA Project was to investigate and provide a comprehensive analysis of the supporting requirements for the V-22 Osprey from the perspective of the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The primary objective was to assist in determining the specifics that will be necessary to support the successful fielding of the weapons system. Various analysis techniques help identify and document specific requirements including training, spares, and the contracting options that will be...

The Japan Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF) will initiate its first performance-based logistics (PBL) contract in fiscal year 2010. This first contract is an experiment in contracting with private firms to provide direct support for military forces. Performance-based logistics is a very new concept for the Japan Self Defense Force, and many policy issues remain unaddressed. The purpose of this Master's project is to explore the critical strategic and operational risks and benefits that the...

The purpose of this MBA project is to identify the actual cost savings when a Performance Based Logistics (PBL) contract, with incentives, is awarded to replace a specified maintenance echelon for critical components or subcomponents of systems. We will examine the impact on system availability to determine if a proposed investment will be practical. The entire logistics flow and maintenance processes, to include all associated subactivities, will be analyzed. In order to do this, we must...

The goal of this thesis is to improve Department of Defense (DOD) policy and guidance to help program managers and product support managers effectively employ Performance Based Logistics (PBL) as a product support strategy. If properly utilized, a PBL approach can reduce a weapon system’s life cycle cost, increase its availability to the warfighter, and reduce the logistics footprint traditionally required to sustain it. This thesis contains a thorough analysis of the most current and...

The purpose of this project was to explore the benefits of using a combination of additive manufacturing (AM), Performance-Based Logistics (PBL), and Open Systems Architecture (OSA) to mitigate the risks of limited key ship components for the Zumwalt-class destroyer (DDG 1000) program. Specifically, this project was focused on current industry's capability for AM and the implementation of AM in the near future. Research was conducted in three phases. First, this research reviewed the problems...

Operational commanders are concerned with maintaining an optimal operational availability (Ao) for their weapons systems while balancing with readiness risk (probability of not achieving a threshold Ao), and cost. Operational availability has been integrated in the acquisition process (Department of Defense, 2009), affecting decision making to a great extent. In the early phase of an acquisition, an initial Ao threshold is created to support mission requirements. The initial Ao threshold is...

This research report provides a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis of the Javelin anti-tank weapon system program’s adherence to our Better Buying Power (BBP) best practices. This report used the BBP mandates as a standard to judge and analyze the Javelin program. The history and development of both Javelin and the BBP were thoroughly researched, and the efficacy of the BBP mandates was explored by comparison to real-world acquisition. It was found that the...

DoD has directed Military Departments to implement Performance Based Logistics (PBL) as a preferred approach for product support. The purpose of this Joint Applied Project (JAP) is to research and analyze four programs that have implemented PBL to determine what types of organizational designs are conducive to successful implementation, and apply those designs to a program at our command. We will identify organizational structures or characteristics of programs having successfully implemented...

The Marine Corps is transforming its automated logistics programs to meet the increasingly complex operational requirements of the 21st Century. One program that is part of this transformation is the Marine Corps Equipment Readiness Information Tool (MERIT). Our research analyzed: how can MERIT be used as a decision support tool for performance based logistics (PBL) and what areas of MERIT are recommended for improvement. Included in the analysis is a description of current readiness procedures...
