This guide is designed to provide logistics and acquisition managers with working familiarity of acquisition logistics. It addresses how to manage the acquisition logistics process throughout the life-cycle from preconcept exploration through post production support. The guide shows the inter-relationships of the major activities in the acquisition process of systems engineering, test, cost, risk, production, contracts, etc. It is designed to bridge the gap between general acquisition on logistics policy contained in DoD Directive 5000.1 and DoD Instruction 5000.2-R.
4th edition. Prepared under contract GS-35F-4033G. Provides information that Program Managers should find useful in structuring, developing, andexecuting an acquisition strategy.
The objective of this handbook is to provide guidance to new and currently assigned Logistics Managers (LMs) for participation throughout the system-acquisition process. The handbook is directed primarily toward the scheduled accomplishment of logistics tasks during the acquisition of typical major systems. However, much of the material presented can be adjusted to apply to logistics tasks involved in most less-than-major system acquisitions. The guidelines are meant to be flexible within the constraints of the objectives of a given Program Office (PO) and the requirements established for that PO by the Program Manager (PM). It is the responsibility of the assigned LM, under the direction of the PM, to judge the degree of effort or involvement needed for the assigned system.
This handbook is designed to assist an acquiring activity in identifying and reflecting logistics requirements to help assure that TRI-TAC systems and equipment are designed, developed, and acquired in such a manner that they may be operated and maintained in the most economical and effective manner. Its use is not primarily intended for top command, but for program and logistics managers and for all of the many individuals with related responsibilities for TRI-TAC acquisitions. (Author).
Performance Based Logistics (PBL) is the preferred Department of Defense (DoD) product Support strategy to improve weapons system readiness by procuring performance, which capitalizes on integrated logistics chains and public/private partnerships. The cornerstone of PBL is the purchase of weapons system sustainment as an affordable, integrated package based on output measures such as weapons system availability, rather than input measures, such as parts and technical services. The Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) and /the Defense Planning Guidance (DPG) directed the application of PBL to new and legacy weapons systems. PBL Implementation is also mandated by DoD Directive 5000.1, The Defense Acquisition System, May 12, 2003. This guide is a tool for Program Managers (PMs) and Product Support Managers (PSMs) as they design product support strategies for new programs or major modifications, or as they re-engineer product support strategies for existing fielded systems. It presents a method for implementing a PBL product support strategy. PBL delineates outcome performance goals of systems, ensures that responsibilities are assigned, provides incentives for attaining these goals, and facilitates the overall life cycle management of system reliability, supportability, and total owner ship costs. It is an integrated acquisition and logistics process for providing weapons system capability.
