Purpose – Performance-based logistics (PBL) strategies are providing governments and for-profit
organizations with a contractual mechanism that reduces the life cycle costs of their systems. PBL
accomplishes this by establishing contracts that focus on the delivery of performance not parts. PBL
establishes a metric based governance structure where suppliers make more profit when they invest in
logistics process improvements, or system redesign, that reduces total cost of ownership. While work
has been done to outline an overall PBL theoretical framework, the underlying theory explaining the
enablers that lead to organizational and team-level, team-goal alignment associated with the PBL
governance structure requires testing. The purpose of this paper is to quantitatively test previously
posited relationships between enablers of PBL and PBL effectiveness. An additional objective is to
explore any differences in PBL effectiveness between different business sectors.
