Performance Based Logistics: Implementing a Sustainment Strategy to Support Warfighters and Benefit MoDs and Contractors

LONDON -

- Frost & Sullivan to Host Analyst Briefing on Performance Based Logistics on Thursday, 27 August, 2009 at 16.00 BST

Although the defence market benefits from some degree of insulation from the effects of the economic recession, it still faces unique challenges. To remain at the cutting edge of military capabilities, customers tend to adopt developmental technologies in order to deliver capability on challenging timescales while maintaining availability and technological currency through-life.

These challenges raise significant questions as to how end-users and industry players can co-operate to improve military capability in uncertain economic times. One increasingly popular solution is Performance Based Logistics (PBL). As a sustainment strategy, the concept of PBL is not new and has already brought significant savings and noteworthy improvements in weapons system availability to the forces that have implemented it.

To discuss the implementation of PBL globally and analyse how PBL fits into current Aerospace & Defence trends, the Aerospace & Defence Group at Frost & Sullivan (www.aerospace.frost.com) is pleased to announce it will be hosting an online analyst briefing presentation on Thursday, 27 August, 2009 at 16:00 BST.

This briefing will benefit defence contractors, Ministries of Defence and other professionals involved in support services for the Armed Forces.

Frost & Sullivan’s Aerospace & Defence Consultant Bruno Mucciolo will be joined by two experts in the PBL domain: Jon Newsome, SAP’s Sustainment/PBL Solution Principal, and Chris MacLuckie, SAP’s Solution Manager for Aerospace & Defense.

“For the military, PBL has become a key strategy to overcome current operational challenges. Moreover, PBL has been a key solution whereby MoDs can reduce costs while delivering improved capabilities with high levels of readiness,” highlights Mucciolo.
