# DLA Director emphasizes performance-based logistics in Town Hall

By DLA Public Affairs

                Fort Belvoir, Virginia  –              
Performance-based logistics was one of several topics DefenseLogistics Agency Director Air Force Lt. Gen. Andy Busch emphasized in a Nov. 2 TownHall with DLA Headquarters employees.

“(PBL) is a big issue for this agency, one that I would wantall of you to become very conversant on,” Busch said, referring to a lifecycle-support approach inwhich the product provider is paid for a specified level of system availability.He noted that Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology andLogistics Frank Kendall is “pushing PBLs hard.” 

Busch urged DLA employees to read Kendall’s Performance-BasedLogistics Guidebook, published in May 2014 by the Defense AcquisitionUniversity, as a focus area in DoD’s BetterBuying Power initiative.

“We’re doing great setting up PBLs that focus on depotmaintenance and supply-chain parameters, but we don’t have the marketpenetration on working with program managers,” Busch said. “We need to findwilling partners within the services’ acquisition community and programmanagement community so that we can tie our PBLs to operational outcomes.”
