This reference is published by the Naval Inventory Control Point (NAVICP). NAVICP is committed to transforming the Navy’s logistics infrastructure to a lean, process-driven system wherein a single action by the customer activates a global network of resources that delivers best-value products and services. Improved customer support and total life cycle cost management (reliability, maintainability, availability, and affordability) are basic business tenets playing important roles in accomplishing the challenge of the transformation we are attempting. NAVICP’s Performance Based Logistics (PBL) program is one of the critical focal points in their effort to improve support, as well as reduce infrastructure and the cost of ownership, for Naval weapon systems. This guide attempts to address major areas of concern related to PBL initiatives, including — but by no means limited to — the different types of PBL agreements, issues to be addressed, suggested language for a PBL statement of work/objectives, the Business Case Analysis process, and files maintenance actions likely to be required.

NOTE: This is a living document, one that will benefit from your experience as you push the boundaries in your own PBL efforts. Please ensure that you pose your questions, or add your own insights, so that this document can continue to be improved.
