IDGA’s Performance-Based Logistics 2010 will feature best practices and case studies from those who have successfully implemented PBL across the spectrum of weapons systems, and will provide you with insights into the future of PBL. By attending, you will engage in thought-provoking sessions covering the key issues ranging from the development of performance metrics within tightly controlled PBL guidelines, through to overcoming challenges in phasing-in PBL on legacy systems – and everything in between.

1. IDGA’s Performance Based Logistics &
Readiness Summit
March 15-18, 2010 | Washington DC Metro Area
Master Class: March 15 (Monday)
Main Conference: March 16-17 (Tues - Wed)
Master Class: March 18 (Thursday)
Conference Background and Objective
The essence of Performance Based Logistics (PBL) is buying performance outcomes. It is
procurement of a capability to support the warfighter versus the individual parts or repair actions.
This is accomplished through a business relationship that is structured to meet the warfighter's
requirements. PBL support strategies integrate responsibility for system support in the Product
Support Integrator, who manages all sources of support.
Current defense plans require all military departments to develop a PBL application schedule for all
new weapons systems and a large group of previously fielded ones. Aiming to improve the readiness
of major weapons systems by incentivizing contractors to meet certain levels of product availability
and reliability, PBL is a powerful methodology for reducing total ownership costs.
The major shift from the traditional approach to product support emphasizes how program manager
teams buy support, not who they buy from. Performance Based Logistics is critical to supplying our
warfighters with better equipment while saving money. The military now pays contractors for reliable
performance; not just for what they’ve manufactured, but how it actually performs in the field.
Performance based logistics should continue to grow in importance and become a major factor for
every acquisition office.
