A 4-Step Performance-Based Contracting Step 1 Performance Outcome Step 2 Performance Measures Step 3 Performance Criteria Step 4 Performance Compensation System availability, MTBF, MTTR, Mean downtime, logistics response time Mini availability, max failure rate, max repair waiting time, max cost per unit time System readiness, operational reliability, assurance of spare parts supply Cost plus incentive fee, cost plus award fee, linear reward, exponential reward 22
Five Performance Measures by US DoD • Operational availability (OA) • Inherent reliability or mission reliability (MR) • Logistics response time (e.g. MTTR, LDT) • Cost per unit usage (CUU) • Logistics footprint 23
Interactions of Five Performance Measures MTBF=Mean Time Between Failures MTTR=Mean Time to Repair MLDT=Mean Logistics Delay Time Mission Reliability (MR) Operational Availability(OA) Cost Per Unit Usage (CUU) Logistics Footprint (LF) Logistics Response Time (LRT) 24

Conclusion Variance is a simple, yet accurate metric to gauge the reliability uncertainty Estimating the reliability variance for series, parallel and mixed series-parallel systems PBC aims to guarantee the system performance while lowering the cost of ownership PBC incentivizes the OEM/3PL to maximize the profit by optimizing the development, production and logistics delivery.
