Background Performance Based Logistics (PBL) has become the preferred life cycle product support strategy for U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) systems and International customers, and as such offers significant business opportunities matched to customers’ outcomes needs. The objective of PBL is to improve weapons system readiness by procuring top level performance outcomes while optimizing support cost by capitalizing on integrated logistics chains and public-private partnerships.

Session Objectives Know the history of PBL
Understand the fundamental concepts of PBL arrangements Recognize the attributes of successful PBL strategies Describe the levels and scope of PBL application Identify the current laws, policies, and directives that impact PBL implementation and execution Describe the Standard and Repeatable Processes (S&RP) that facilitate effective performance-based Product Support Arrangements (PSAs) Understand the constraints and enablers influencing development and execution of PBL strategies

PBL Legacy: Performance Based Logistics
Emerging: Performance Based Lifecycle Product Support Legacy: Performance Based Logistics “PBL is synonymous with performance-based lifecycle product support, where outcomes are acquired through performance-based arrangements that deliver Warfighter requirements and incentivize product support providers to reduce costs through innovation. These arrangements are contracts with industry or intragovernmental agreements.”1

Some PBL examples Aircraft Tires PBL Army HIMARS PBL
Scope: Availability of Naval aircraft tires Outcomes Availability: 95% Delivery: 2 days CONUS; 4 Days OCONUS Army HIMARS PBL Scope: Availability of HIMARS Rocket Launcher System Availability: 92% Delivery: 24 hours CONUS; 96 Hours OCONUS Repair Turnaround: 5 days Field; 45 days Vendor H-60 “Tip to Tail” Scope: Depot-Level Repair/Overhaul Fill Rate: 88% (vs. 80% contract requirement) High priority SMI supply response time: 100% All-time low backorders on 1,286 components: 24

A more effective system sustainment approach was required!
How did PBL get its start? Situation with U.S. military systems, mid-1990s Aging weapon systems Procurement decline following Cold War Fewer new systems, keeping old ones longer Aging systems need more support Fixed Defense Budget Sustainment was rising as a total life cycle cost percentage No strategy to correct the downward spiral DoD lacked funds to invest in modernization or replace systems Systems were never ‘designed for supportability’ A crisis was clearly imminent U.S. Congress mandated action A more effective system sustainment approach was required!

“INCREASE THE USE OF PBL”
Moving Forward PBL GUIDEBOOK 3.0 “When properly established and effectively executed, PBL is an effective way to balance cost and performance regardless of whether industry or the government is providing the logistics service. If industry is the provider, PBL also provides explicit productivity incentives and ensures the best value for the DoD, particularly for service contracts such as maintenance and support contracts. We believe there is opportunity for more progress in expanding the use of PBL, and it will be receiving additional emphasis and management attention going forward.” “PBL has been the preferred sustainment strategy since the 2001 Quadrennial Defense Review.” “The policies governing these strategies have gone through several iterations since 2001, but the intent has remained the same. . .” ASD(L&MR) “Recent studies point to additional opportunity to be realized through more broadly applying properly structured and executed PBL arrangements.” May September “INCREASE THE USE OF PBL”

PBL Levels of Implementation
Supply Chain Services Logistics Chain Services Whole System Availability Operational Availability Material Availability Delivery Speed Contract Scope System Distribution Performance Subsystem PBL can be implemented at the (click) Component Level, (click) Subsystem level, (click) Platform Level, and (click) hopefully even at the Mission completion level In short, there are no boundaries to how, and to what degree, you implement PBL. Wherever, however, whenever you can buy “Performance” rather than support transactions, support improves Your strategy will, of necessity, be tailored to your Program – we’ll talk about how you do that later – but the important point from this chart is that you can start small and grow, or you can start big – the range of strategies is there, with ample precedent programs across the board, to prove it can be done Component Level 1 Level 2 Level 3

EXAMPLE: Navy Aircraft Tires Contract
Supply Chain Services Situation prior to PBL contract Supply Availability 81% Aircraft tires treated as commodity, bought in bulk, stored until needed Large on-hand 365 day inventory (wholesale and retail) Use of organic (DoD) distribution system; delivery times as long as 60 days May or may not have right mix of tires The contract is an IDIQ with a fixed unit price. There are essentially two average prices – small tires under $500 and large tires over $500. There is an agreed to escalation in the price from year to year. (Note that some of the current solicitations are basing escalation on a CPI that is related to the product.) The contract is structured into twelve monthly payments based on the anticipated demand quantity for the year. In the twelfth month, an adjudication of the actual verse the anticipated is conducted and the books are balanced. The basic contract is 5 years with two 5-year options. We completed the basic contract and are in the first 5-year option period.
28
EXAMPLE: Navy Aircraft Tires Contract
Supply Chain Services Navy awarded a $260M PBL contract in 2001 to supply Naval Aircraft Tires 5 year Fixed Price base with two 5 year option periods Contractor role: Supply Chain Management Demand forecasting, order fulfillment Warehousing, inventory Contractual Goals 95% on-time fill rate Delivery: 2-day CONUS; 4-Day OCONUS The contract is an IDIQ with a fixed unit price. There are essentially two average prices – small tires under $500 and large tires over $500. There is an agreed to escalation in the price from year to year. (Note that some of the current solicitations are basing escalation on a CPI that is related to the product.) The contract is structured into twelve monthly payments based on the anticipated demand quantity for the year. In the twelfth month, an adjudication of the actual verse the anticipated is conducted and the books are balanced. The basic contract is 5 years with two 5-year options. We completed the basic contract and are in the first 5-year option period.
29
EXAMPLE: Navy Aircraft Tires
Supply Chain Services Contractor actions Contractors own the entire wholesale/retail tire inventory Sub-contract let for warehouse services Modeled several warehouse configurations to balance transportation costs against on-time delivery Selected 2 warehouse sites: Charlotte NC and Sacramento CA Distribution One for international shipments One primarily for for CONUS shipments FEDEX supplements
30
EXAMPLE: Navy Aircraft Tires
Supply Chain Services Results Supply availability 98% over contract term Deliveries average 32.5 hours CONUS & hours OCONUS Reduced warehouse inventory level from 365 days to 90 days Virtually eliminated retail inventories (4769 reduced to 1626) On track to a projected $48M 15-year savings Learning Point: Good business opportunities even in lower level PBLs

32
EXAMPLE: Navy Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) contract
Situation prior to PBL contract Supply Availability 65% APUs were aging; support costs escalating Reliability and Availability declining; no funding to modernize Contractual Goals Supply and delivery response time: % on-time Reliability guarantees ranging from % to 300% improvement
33
EXAMPLE: Navy Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) contract
Navy awarded a $189M 10 Yr PBL contract Subsequently expanded to $500M covering APUs across 6 platforms FAR Part 12 (commercial) Fixed Price per flight hour Contractor role Total system performance (availability and reliability) Supply chain management, configuration management, tech insertion
34
EXAMPLE: Navy Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) contract
Contractor actions Sub-contract for Supply Chain Management Partnered with Fleet Readiness Center – East (Naval Depot (NADEP) Cherry Point) NADEP Cherry Point a ‘subcontractor’ to Prime Contractor Cherry Point does depot overhaul. Contractor ensures they have parts and technical support (on-site)
35
EXAMPLE: Navy Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) contract
Results Supply availability 97% over contract term 25% inventory reduction Reliability improvements up to 300% Gainsharing provision when reliability improvements > 25% On track to a projected $70M savings Learning Point: Public-Private Partnerships Work!

Scope of PBL Applications
42
Understanding “Scope”
PBL contracts will be different than “traditional” sustainment contracts PBL metrics are specific to outcome needs Outcomes can be achieved by properly assessing the IPS areas, and aligning the range of the scope with desired outcomes and contract metrics

Integrated Logistics Support Elements
(Through 2009)
44
Remember what “PBL” is Performance Based Lifecycle Product Support
Title 10, USC 2337 defines “product support” “The term “product support” means the package of support functions required to field and maintain the readiness and operational capability of major weapon systems, subsystems, and components, including all functions related to weapon system readiness.”

(Non-PBL) PBL Strategy Availability Reliability Response times Supply chain Maintenance and repairs Repairs REPAIRS Desired Outcomes Spares SPARES PHS&T - Smaller Footprint …at an affordable cost SUPPLIES
54
Traditional vs. PBL The Traditional Strategy
“Bottom-Up” Traditional Strategy The Traditional Strategy is based upon individual transactions REPAIRS SPARES SUPPLIES
55
Traditional Transactional
“Bottom-Up” The historic DoD approach Non-integrated, stove-piped support Does not enable the critical inter-relationships across the product support elements A negative action in Supply Chain Management (e.g., poor demand forecasting) has significant impacts on maintenance, transportation, etc.) Sub-optimizes within stovepipes The PM “hopes” that the sum total of support will meet the warfighter readiness requirements Reality says it seldom does . . . . . . nor is it affordable It is a “Win-Lose” construct The worse performance gets, the more customer pays, a portion of which goes to industry.
56
Transactional approach
“Bottom-Up” Is reactive, not proactive Its goal is to repair or replace things that break, not prevent them from breaking. Lacks an inherent improvement component Factors that increase failure (decreasing reliability, obsolescence) must be initiated and funded externally; They are not inherently initiated. Over time, performance declines and cost rises. Its focus is on continually treating the symptoms, not on making the patient well
57
Transactional approach
“Bottom-Up” Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) The traditional historic CLS approach was and is transactional. By design beginning in a program’s overall Acquisition Strategy, the contractor provides lifetime support. The contractor will be responsible to: Develop the support Acquire maintenance capability Provide the necessary support resources PBL is not CLS! The type of contractor support employed, Interim Contractor Support (ICS) or Contractor Logistics Support (CLS), will significantly affect the overall acquisition strategy. When using ICS, it is generally the services intent to eventually establish an organic support capability in which case the government would be responsible to acquire the needed support resources. However, recent strategies use temporary contractor support until a sufficient quantity of end items are fielded to justify the investment in an organic capability or to defer a final decision on organic versus life time contractor support until sufficient data is available to support such a decision. For CLS, the contractor provides lifetime support and will likely be responsible to develop/acquire and provide the necessary support resources. The program office's strategy and contractual approach in the acquisition of the commodities or services will vary depending on which version of contractor support is anticipated. DAU LOG 101 Course definition
58
Traditional Transactional
Contract Support “Bottom-Up” Military Customer Responsibilities The more I sell, the more profit I make! Parts Repairs PHS&T Forecast requirements Specify buy quantities Pay for each spare part and repair on a Unit Price basis More Risk Less Risk Assumes all risk for: right parts right repairs right time right quantities Contractor
59
Transactional approach
“Bottom-Up” “In transactional sustainment arrangements, the incentives are neutral at best and more likely tilted against the military Services and Defense Logistics Agency. Compounding this problem is that essentially all financial and performance risks reside with the Services.” November 30, 2011
60
Top-Down Product Support Business model (The PBL system outcome view)
System-level availability focus Outcome-based Natural “Win-Win” construct is mutually beneficial to customer and contractor Needs of customer are met Needs of contractor (to include profit opportunity) Continuous Process Improvement is inherent
61
Specify Performance Outcomes
Top-Down approach Fixed Price PBL Contract The less I use, the more profit I make! Improve Reliability Improve Repair processes Motivated to: Military Customer Responsibilities Parts Repairs PHS&T Less Risk Contractor Forecast requirements Specify buy quantities Pay for each on a Unit Price basis Assume all risk for: right parts right repairs right time right quantities Specify Performance Outcomes More Risk
62
Project “Proof Point” Sustaining weapon systems, subsystems, and major components via Performance Based Logistics arrangements deliver improved readiness at reduced life cycle costs when compared to traditional, transactional sustainment arrangements. November 30, 2011 The Global Support Network is being built and deployed to provide our programs with a more affordable set of product support elements—an approach that allows new programs to take advantage of years of prior knowledge from across our corporation. By offering tailored solutions based on proven solutions to all of the product support elements, and by leveraging existing common logistics IT tools, processes, data and information management applications, programs can minimize up front investments and thus increase the win probability of competitive pursuits, or improve performance on existing PBL contracts.
63
What DoD says… Defense Acquisition Guidebook
“The essence of PBL is buying performance outcomes…versus individual parts and repair actions” “This is accomplished through a business relationship that is structured to meet the warfighter's requirements” . . .(while) “continually improving the cost-effectiveness of logistics products and services” 1,246 pages
64
PBL changes how support is acquired
PBL doesn’t fundamentally change Product Support; it changes how it is acquired At the operating level, all systems still require the same resources and activities to keep them operational Spares, Repairs, Technical Support, Training, Distribution, Transportation, Warehousing, etc. What it changes is the business relationship by which these elements are obtained Risk and accountability for performance outcomes are assigned to a Product Support Integrator, who determines ‘how’ to achieve them

Session 3 PBL Contracts & PSAs
69
What makes a contract a “PBL” contract?
Characteristics of a “PBL” contract: Incentivizes contractor achievement of specified ‘outcomes’ Contractor is financially at risk for performance Contractor receives positive financial (and other) benefits for positive performance Contractor suffers tangible negative consequences for non-performance Contractor has broad flexibility in ‘how’ to achieve the ‘what’ specified by the contract Contractor either manages, performs, or has strong agreements in place over those support functions leading to achievement of the specified outcomes

Product Support Agreements
Product Support Arrangements (PSAs) are implemented by Product Support Agreements “Product Support Arrangement” is a generic term that includes a wide range of relationships between organizations associated with product support. If I had to pick one of the most singular characteristics of PBL versus our traditional support concept, it would be the inclusion of Performance Agreements For perhaps the first time ever, the creation of the PBA creates more than just a “promise” to the warfighter It provides something concrete and tangible, that clearly defines the expectations of the Force Provider Now, as I mentioned earlier – those expectations have to be realistic – every weapon system program is not fully funded Also, the agreements need to have built in flexibility, because priorities change Execution year funding can go up or down, and that has a literal affect on the level of support possible Therefore PBAs need to specify a RANGE of support, from minimal open the door level of effort all the way up to surge and wartime requirements That way, changes in requirements don’t precipitate going back to a clean sheet of paper startup again for the PBA Since they are in fact the document that all parties will be assessed against, getting them right is critical, as is getting the buy-in of the parties to the agreement
78
Types of PSAs The Contract MOA – Memorandum of Agreement
Parties to the agreement are dependent on actions by the other party MOU – Memorandum of Understanding Parties to the agreement are not dependent upon actions by the other party CSA – Commercial Services Agreement Agreement between a Contractor and DoD entity that provides for a Contractor to buy DoD goods and services SLA – Service Level Agreement Used in commercial processes more than in DoD systems; primarily used in software-related relationships
79
Product Support Agreements
Even beyond the contract, the Product Support Agreements are critical elements in implementing PBL Define expectations of Force Provider Define roles and responsibilities Define range of support requirements Basis for negotiating support contracts Ensure accountability in meeting Warfighter requirements Getting them right is critical! PSA If I had to pick one of the most singular characteristics of PBL versus our traditional support concept, it would be the inclusion of Performance Agreements For perhaps the first time ever, the creation of the PBA creates more than just a “promise” to the warfighter It provides something concrete and tangible, that clearly defines the expectations of the Force Provider Now, as I mentioned earlier – those expectations have to be realistic – every weapon system program is not fully funded Also, the agreements need to have built in flexibility, because priorities change Execution year funding can go up or down, and that has a literal affect on the level of support possible Therefore PBAs need to specify a RANGE of support, from minimal open the door level of effort all the way up to surge and wartime requirements That way, changes in requirements don’t precipitate going back to a clean sheet of paper startup again for the PBA Since they are in fact the document that all parties will be assessed against, getting them right is critical, as is getting the buy-in of the parties to the agreement Clarify Support Expectations!

Product Support Manager
Roles and Responsibilities in a PBL Strategy Warfighter Program Manager Product Support Manager Product Support Integrator Product Support Providers
82
PBL Roles – Historical view
Inherently Government PM Could be Government or Contractor PSI PSPs
83
The Product Support Business Model
PBL Roles – Current view Top-level Government accountability and Product Support management role Retains Product Support Integrator role Recognizes possibility of multiple PSIs The Product Support Business Model
84
Product Support Providers (PSP)
Supply/ Warehousing Depot Repair Transportation Any supplier, public or private, that provides products or services in the sustainment of a DoD system Common Commodities Contract Support Maintenance
85
The PSI (Product Support Integrator)
“The PSI is an entity performing as a formally bound agent (e.g., contract, MOA, MOU) charged with integrating all sources of support, public and private, defined within the scope of the Performance-Based Logistics agreements to achieve the documented outcomes” (DoD Product Support Guide) PSI “An entity within the Federal Government or outside the Federal Government charged with integrating all sources of product support, both private and public, defined within the scope of a product support arrangement” (2010 NDAA, Section 805) PSIs are RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for delivering the designated PERFORMANCE OUTCOMES to the Warfighter customer
86
Who can be a PSI? Industry Government (Organic)
OEM usually default choice Has knowledge of system; technical data, proprietary rights & licenses; unique parts; maintenance expertise Example: LM for F-117 aircraft 3PL (Third Party Logistics Provider) Not OEM, but has required integration/other expertise Examples: LM contract with DLA as broad scope parts supplier LM partner with Michelin for Aircraft tires contract Government (Organic) Program Management Office, Depot, Inventory Control Point Growing impetus for Government to assume PSI role Example: Navy Subsystem/Component PBLs

Session 5 PBL Depot Involvement
90
Depot Workload Allocation
In major weapons systems, long-term depot-level maintenance is going to be a major factor Government maintenance depots and commercial maintenance facilities may be able to perform the system’s depot-level tasks The Government PM, PSM, and the support contractor will play a role in determining where this kind of activity will occur
91
PSI Workload determination
PBL gives significant top-level integration responsibility to the Product Support Integrator The PSI has great latitude in determining how the support will be provided to achieve the outcomes
92
DoD boundary and enabler conditions
HOWEVER, DoD is governed by statutes, policy, and formal guidance that significantly bound where, and by whom workloads can be performed
93
Depot Workload Allocation Process
Statutory Requirements DoD Policy Best Value Title 10 What the program WANTS to do What the Program MUST do Workload Allocation Agreements Planning Process Sequence We have more flexibility now in determining where, how, and by whom our support workloads will be accomplished, but we are still constrained by key filters that must be addressed in making those determinations In broad terms, we must address What we HAVE to do (Statute) What we will GENERALLY HAVE to do (Policy) And What we WANT to do (Best Value) 1 2 3 4 Statutory Workload Allocation Agreements Requirements DoD Policy Best Value Title 10
94
Workload Allocation is determined along two axes
Performance Based Support 1. Best mix of Public/Private capabilities 2. Maximize use of Performance Based strategies ORGANIC Organic Support CONTRACTOR Best Mix Contractor Support Determined by: Title 10 US Code Partnering Opportunities Service Policies OSD/Service Guidance Existing Infrastructures Best Competencies & Value Determined by: DoD 5000-series Policy DoD Guidance Service Policies & Guidance Business Case Analysis Need to Optimize Performance A Product Support workload allocation strategy will be built along two major axis: The ratio of organic to contractor performed work The ratio of Performance-based support to non Performance-based (Transaction based) There are varying degrees of flexibility in how and where these workloads can be assigned, especially for Depot Maintenance workloads Law (Title 10) and Policy (e.g. Contractors on the Battlefield) dictate many workload assignment decisions Beyond compliance with Law and Policy, workloads are assigned based on a best value analysis that will consider best capabilities, existing infrastructure, and similar factors Since PBL is POLICY (DoDD ), then there should be a natural preference for Performance-based workloads Transaction Based Support
95
DoDI 4151.21 – Depot-level PPP (2012)
Public-private partnerships for depot-level maintenance shall be employed whenever cost-effective in providing improved support to the warfighter, and to maximize the utilization of the government’s facilities, equipment, and personnel at DoD depot-level maintenance activities. Performance-Based Logistics implementation strategies shall consider public-private partnerships . . . We’ll now talk about development of the core of your PBL support strategy – workload allocation. The reason we want to select our PSI prior to accomplishing this activity is because they are going to have ultimate responsibility for managing all of the sources of support, so it is important for them to be involved in and aware of the allocation of workloads DoD 5000 policy now states that sustainment strategies shall include the best use of both PUBLIC and PRIVATE sector capabilities through partnering
96
Title 10 and Depot activities
SECTION DLM 2460 Definition of Depot-Level Maintenance & Repair Reporting 2461 Commercial or Industrial type functions: Required studies and reports before conversion to contractor performance Core 2464 Core Logistics Capabilities 50/50 2466 Limitations on the performance of Depot-Level maintenance of material $3M Rule 2469 Requirements of competition for contracts to perform workloads previously performed by Depot-Level activities of the DoD Procedures 2469a Use of competitive procedures formerly performed at certain military installations Authority 2470 DLM – Authority to compete for other Federal Agency workload Lease of Excess Material 2471 Persons outside the DoD: Lease of excess Depot-level equipment and facilities End Strength 2472 Management of Depot-Level employees Public-Private Partnering 2474 Centers of Industrial and Technical Excellence (CITEs) / Designation of PPPs BRAC 2687 Base Realignment and Closures WCF 2208 Working Capital Funds
97
Section 2464: Core Logistics
DoD must maintain a core logistics capability that is Government-owned and Government-operated To ensure effective and timely response to a mobilization, national defense contingency situations, and other emergency requirements
98
Section 2466: The “50/50 Rule” Government Industry At least 50% of the money allocated annually for depot-level maintenance and repair must be performed by a Government organic entity no more than 50% can be “contracted out” Computed annually at the Military Department level – it is not weapon system specific Calculated based on FUNDS, not MANHOURS
99
Section 2474 CITEs & Partnerships
Authorizes the Designation of Depot Maintenance activities within the Military Departments “as a Center of Industrial and Technical Excellence (CITE) in the recognized core competencies of the designee” also authorizes partnering
100
Types of Partnerships Workshare Direct Sales
101
Types of Partnerships summarized
Workshare (10 USC 2474) Government Buying Activity Contractor USG Depot $$$ “Subcontract” (CSA) Direct Sales (10 USC 2563) Contractor ‘subcontracts’ with Depot USG Depot does overhaul Compliance with Core, 50-50 Paid by Contractor Contractor is ‘accountable’ for end item in PBL contract Depot accountable via ‘Hold Harmless’ Contract Government Buying Activity Contract $$$ $$$ Contractor USG Depot Agreement Each is paid separately Contractor and Depot establish a partnering agreement May engage in a “teaming” arrangement 10 USC 2474 is the “foundation” statute for Public-Private Partnering Established in 1998 Specifies that when Depots are designated (by Service Secretaries) as Centers of Industrial and Technical Excellence (CITES), that they may establish Partnerships in their “core competencies”. All Major Depots (19) have been designated as CITES Example: In the Air Force, Aircraft Engine overhaul is done at Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center (Tinker AFB) Tinker is the “CITE” for Air Force Engines Tinker is allowed to form Public-Private Partnerships involving Aircraft Engine Overhaul Partnerships are established with a formal agreement (e.g. Commercial Services Agreement, MOA) 10 USC 2563 (“Direct Sales”) Allows the Depot to accomplish work as a ‘subcontractor’ to a Contractor with a government prime contract Established by a partnering agreement (e.g. Commercial Service Agreement) Depot is paid by the Contractor Section 2563 contains the “Hold Harmless” clause Depot can be held accountable for default in accomplishing workloads due to: Gross negligence the failure of the Government to comply with quality, schedule, or cost performance requirements Increased accountability for Contractor and Depot in PBL arrangements ‘Hold Harmless” not applicable unless inserted in partnering agreement
102
Public-Private Partnering Guidebook (2012)
“Defense acquisition policy requires PMs to develop and implement performance-based logistics (PBL) strategies that include the best use of public and private-sector capabilities through government-industry partnering initiatives.” We’ll now talk about development of the core of your PBL support strategy – workload allocation. The reason we want to select our PSI prior to accomplishing this activity is because they are going to have ultimate responsibility for managing all of the sources of support, so it is important for them to be involved in and aware of the allocation of workloads DoD 5000 policy now states that sustainment strategies shall include the best use of both PUBLIC and PRIVATE sector capabilities through partnering
103
Depot Partnering Examples
The Guidebook (Section 3) lists case studies: Sniper Pod Warner Robins ALC / Lockheed Martin F404 Engine Fleet Readiness Center / GE M1 Abrams Anniston Army Depot / GD Land-Honeywell F-35 Lightning II Fighter USAF/USN/USMC / Lockheed Martin – Pratt & Whitney Rock Island Arsenal Rock Island Arsenal / BAE Systems HMMWV DLA/Army TACOM / AM General

Session 6 S&RP for PBL
105
Standard & Repeatable Processes (S&RP) for PBL
“A gap identified by DoD through the course of the OSD-charted PBL Study (Proof Point) was the need for standardized repeatable processes to facilitate effective performance-based Product Support Arrangements.”
106
S&RP for PBL The “12-Step Model” stages Foundation Planning Execution
Oversight PBL Guidebook: Figure 4. the DoD Product Support Strategy Process Model
107
It is a Guide It is not intended to be a rigid one-size-fits-all process chart It can be used as a checklist of things to consider It is intentionally flexible, to be tailored to the needs of the specific program The “steps” do not need to be performed sequentially
108
1. Integrate Warfighter Requirements & Support
“The PM/PSM should coordinate with Warfighter representatives to ensure product support requirements are identified/ documented and threshold values are established/updated.” - PBL Guidebook 2.1.3
109
1. Integrate Warfighter Requirements & Support
JROC requires a sustainment KPP JROC – Joint Requirements Oversight Council KPP – Key Performance Parameter AM Materiel Availability Of the four mandatory KPPs, there is one that specifically addresses sustainment: AM Operational Availability (AO) can apply all the way down to the LRU level. AM is a fleet-level metric. The Materiel Availability KPP is a de facto requirement. PBL Guidebook: Figure 5: Relationship between AO and AM
110
2. Form the PSM IPT A collaboration of key functional areas
Lifecycle Logistics Engineering Finance Contracting Legal Others, as deemed relevant by PSM Other consultants could also be used Can include Contractor and Government personnel
111
2. Form the PSM IPT PBL Guidebook - Figure 6: Product Support Management IPT
112
3. Baseline the System Assess the “as-is” state of the system
For a new system, engineering and supportability data must be developed. For active, fielded “legacy” systems, inventory of assets, assessment of services, and understand current process and availability metrics is key. MTBF, RTAT, CWT, Fill Rates, OTD, NMCS, NMCM, etc.
113
4. Identify/Refine Performance Outcomes
Establish outcome goals In a PBL Arrangement in particularly, establishing outcome-base metrics is key Establish at what level(s) within the system should be addressed (component, subsystem, system)
114
5. Business Case Analysis
May include trade-off analyses, cost:benefit analysis, product support analysis, analysis of alternatives, economic analysis, etc. The intent is to identify a best value support solution, balancing desired outcomes with associated costs A best practice is to ensure consideration of Public-Private Partnerships
115
6. Product Support Value Analysis
The analysis of product support alternatives includes both financial and non-financial considerations. Programs may assign weights relative to cost, benefits, and risk with product support alternatives The weighting of these three criteria is critical to the decision-making process\ A PBL Leading Practice is to use modeling and simulation to give insight
116
7. Determine Support Method(s)
The PSMIPT will engage in structuring an appropriate support strategy Assess product support work scope relative to Product components Product Support Elements Consider the scope and kinds of relevant product support metrics to be used Develop a performance-based contracting strategy and plan
117
8. Designate PSI(s) Consider the complexity of the program being supported, and the complexity of the supportability itself If the use of the PSI concept is in order, select from relevant ones. Typical candidates include The system’s Prime Contractor/OEM The system’s own Logistics organization A third-party logistics (3PL) provider from the private sector An organic agency (e.g., DLA, Depot, ICP, et al)
118
9. Identify PSPs Define the scope of support
Communicate with all stakeholders to generate a mutual understanding of support requirements. Document the warfighter and stakeholder support requirements Clearly identify the specific items to be covered Align PSP requirements to current and future support posture Define configuration control Begin DMS/MS planning, to include obsolescence Plan for lifecycle cost considerations Ensure compliance with statutory requirements (i.e., Title 10 USC 2464, 2466, etc.)
119
10. Identify/Refine Financial Enablers
Effective PBL arrangements require active PSM involvement in establishing long-term financial planning A best practice is to for the PSM to maintain continual interaction with a Program’s Financial Officer PBL Guidebook Figure 21 Alternatives to Fund a PBL Contract
120
11. Establish/Refine Product Support Arrangements
Effective Product Support Arrangements include: Objective and measurable outcome focused product support work description Outcomes-focused contracting strategy Contract type Contract length Pricing strategies Outcomes-focused metrics, few in number Incentives to achieve and improve outcome objectives Consideration given to lifecycle cost reductions Shared risks and rewards with Government and commercial PSIs and PSPs
121
12. Implement and Assess Tracking performance is integral to a PBL arrangement Best practices include: Operating with a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) Routine reviews Continual performance monitoring Close collaboration with stakeholders Continual alignment with evolving warfighter requirements
