 DoD is moving towards a performance-based strategy and contracting focus as the preferred weapon systems sustainment plan, streamlining contracting and financing mechanisms in order to buy availability and readiness measured by performance criteria.Performance Based Logistics (PBL) strategy is applied to achieve near-term improvements in end-to-end sustainment, material readiness, and Total life-cycle systems management (TLCSM) through public-private partnerships that combine best practice capabilities of industry and organic support.Leverage point models illustrate where small differences in operational thinking can make a large impact on cost, readiness or productivity.
