Dear PBL Attendee,

The evolution of PBL is all happening now.

As the DoD continues to strive to improve the way it does business, PBL is goingthrough a critical shift, moving towards acquisition reform and focusing on lifecycleproduct support.

Performance Based Logistics 2010 will help you to uncover the issues andchallenges in implementing the Weapons System Acquisition Reform Act, and helpyou understand the details about product support and how you can achieve andmaintain the readiness and operational capability of your weapons systems,subsystems, software, and support systems through an improved PBL process.

Join over 250 logisticians, industry partners and DoD leaders at the PBLConference on July 26-28, 2010 at the Marriott Crystal Gateway, Arlington VAto discuss and address the following challenges:

• How to better understand the new PSAT report and the new ProductSupport Business Model -– its intent and implementation of the policy

• With continued global deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, availability andreliability of weapons systems is even more critical. How do you best forecastand meet systems performance goals to support the changing needs ofthe warfighter?

• With the reissue of the DODI 5000.02 – the first major change in the DoDAcquisition Management System in over 5 years, find out how your peers andcolleagues are doing with the adoption and implementation of the newguidelines in acquisition and program management

• Untangle the confusion in putting together the Business Case Analysis(BCA) and learn about best practices for the BCA and for entering into a PBLrelationship

• Establish a Total Ownership Cost (TOC) to encourage contractors to makestrategic investments in supply chain processes, product reliability andsustainability that will optimize the overall costs

• Address human capital needs and identify new competencies to supportPBL next generation – Lifecycle Product Support

Secure your place at PBL 2010 to be part of this exceptional meeting of top Defenselogistics and acquisition minds.

I look forward to meeting you in Arlington in July!

Lisa RinglenProgram DirectorPBL 2010

PBL brings together the mostinnovative and forward thinkingleaders from DoD services andagencies as well as their contractors.Last year’s event hosted nearly300 senior PBL representativesfrom across Industry, the Services andDefense Agencies.

Recent researchhighlights key success factors:• Building and leveraging core skill sets• Thinking beyond “wrench turning,” to tap into the true potential of

public-private partnerships• Creating aligned incentive strategies for all participants, public and

3:30 NEW! Two-Hour Workshop Presentation: PerformanceBased Support As A Systems Engineering OrientedProcessThe workshop will introduce a systems design interface technique thatconveys supportability and producibility requirements to the designteam and into the product design specification.

This technique derives true logistics requirements from lessons learned,assesses empirical data from customer data bases, and results indiscrete and timely Supportability Design-to Requirements (SDTRs) andProducibility Design-to Requirements (PDTRs). An objective review oftraditional parameters and their limited capability will be comparedwith the SDTR/PDTR development process. The workshop participantswill be provided with a new perspective in engaging the design teamwith relevant, timely and articulate design-to requirements forSupportability and Producibility. The workshop will define anintegrating function for all the ILS Elements, where those functionssynthesize and balance to effectively optimize Total Ownership Costs(TOC) and reduce the logistics infrastructure and footprint. Theworkshop will discuss methods for governance and for measurementof effective integration of sustainment design requirements into theproduct design from early design through the post-fielding phase.

2:15 Case Study: Current PBL Issues, Trends And Concerns...AGovernment Industry Perspective Recently PBL has received some bad press due to misunderstandings andmisperceptions on what PBL is and isn't. The terms PBL and CLS arebeing used interchangeably and are causing confusion. Because of thisthere has been a push to limit the length of PBL contracts, recompeteevery few years and require cost reporting on firm fixed priced contracts.This presentation will address these and other current real and perceivedPBL issues from both a government and industry perspective.
