<p>The purpose of this MBA project is to identify the actual cost savings when a Performance Based Logistics  (PBL) contract, with incentives, is awarded to replace a specified maintenance echelon for critical components or  subcomponents of systems. We will examine the impact on system availability to determine if a proposed  investment will be practical. The entire logistics flow and maintenance processes, to include all associated subactivities,  will be analyzed. In order to do this, we must initially identify all costs of operating the current organic  maintenance echelon, which will become the PBL baseline. This will be used to determine the value added of any  incremental percentage change in readiness or elimination of organic maintenance echelon(s). We propose to  develop a simulation based decision support tool to assist Program Managers (PM) with issues of valuing options  for the improvement of system availability, and making appropriate investment options. Ultimately, this project  will determine the financial viability and practicality of implementing a PBL incentive contract.
