Sustainment/Logistics

Sustainment and Logistics issues cause confusion and frustration throughout many Aerospace and Defense organizations. Ambiguous PBL requirements and lack of a single comprehensive ‘solution' have driven many organizations to inaction.

Companies pursuing or executing performance-based contracts are experiencing a variety of challenges that extend the full program lifecycle, including:

Lack of understanding about Performance Based Logistics: This can lead to poorly structured contracts, too many metrics, and broad/unclear scopes of work
Changing PBL requirements: Some PBL contracts limit companies from establishing clear, repeatable processes associated with this contract type
An obsolete "Win then build" model: Customers are requiring increased proof of capabilities prior to contract award which is rendering the "win then build" model obsolete
Lack of supply chain visibility: Inability to see and adjust the supply chain can lead to poor performance and increased financial risks
Limited access to meaningful/aggregated data: Without the right information to go on, proper metric development is impeded and logistics analyses are limited
Organizational and technical limitations: impeding program execution and resulting in contract losses.
