Best practice Performance Based Logistics (PBL) contracts often use some
combination of "carrots and stick" strategies that are tightly aligned, promoting
behaviors and outcomes that benefit both the customer and supplier. - ANSWER-True
Life cycle costs consist of research and development costs, investment costs, operating
and support costs, and disposal costs over the entire life cycle. - ANSWER-True
Logisticians and engineers who perform sustainment analyses should have a basic
understanding of operations, system missions and profiles and the system capabilities. -
ANSWER-True
Logistics plans are executed and altered over the many years of deployed operation,
with Operations and Support (O&S) costs typically accounting for only 10 to 20 percent
of a system. - ANSWER-False
One way to support the Department's goal of incentivizing, and ultimately improving,
productivity and affordability of the Department's weapon systems is to increase the
