Performance-Based Life Cycle Product Support: A New Look at Enablers and Barriers
Abstract
The results of this study were obtained via a survey deployed to the DoD and contractor personnel working primarily in program management and logistics management by Defense Acquisition University. The study highlighted the impact of 15 factors on implementation of Performance-based Life Cycle Product Support (PBL). The study contrasted 2011 results to a previous 2005 study on PBL barriers and enablers. The results of this study have applications to successful implementation of PBL throughout the DoD and the commercial industrial workplace. Significant information was obtained on 15 factors regarding effects on PBL implementation. Ten of the evaluated factors were determined to be enablers; five were determined to be barriers. The research provided the following results 1. The top two most significant enabling factors for PBL were maintaining Warfighters' Perspective and Strategic Alliances/Partnering in the 2011 study 2. The top two barriers to PBL were Cultural Paradigms and Technical Data in the 2011 study 3. Warfighters' Perspective (2011) replaced Performance Metrics from the 2005 study as the most significant enabler 4. Cultural Paradigms (2011) replaced Funding from the 2005 study as the most significant barrier; and 5. Two barriers from the 2005 study were determined to be enablers in the 2011 study (Training and Awards/Incentives).
