ABSTRACT
Performance Based Logistics (PBL) is the preferred product support approach for the United States Department of Defense. The associated Department of Defense instruction 5000.02 explains: “PBL offers the best strategic approach for delivering required life cycle readiness, reliability and ownership costs.” This contribution explores and describes the origin of PBL as an ongoing process which continues to evolve even today. The analysis of the emergence of PBL provides the basis for understanding the current state of the art of PBL, its driving forces and the status quo of PBL implementation.
