Implementation of Performance Based Logistics Management on KC-X Engines

By John C. Cleveland

Book Overview

USAF Implementation of Performance Based Logistics (PBL) on the KC-X Engine, similar to the Rolls-Royce offered Power by the Hour (R) (PbtH (R)) logistics support system, will have a direct future impact to reduce back ordered aviation spare part requisitions and outstanding purchase requests. As the spare parts steward for Department of Defense (DoD), Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) has been in acquisition surge since early 2003 and is experiencing continued high spare part Back Orders (BOs) and outstanding open Purchase Requests (PRs). DLA has initiated several process improvement initiatives, including the complete replacement of their legacy Standard Automated Material Management System (SAMMS) with the new DLA Enterprise Business System (EBS). However, the question must be answered: does the DoD have procurement options to help relieve the spares BO upward trend in the event war time surge continues?
