PBL Command
PBL Command is an integrated software environment that helps users improve program management, fine-tune sustainment operations and analyze real-time performance.
The Defense Sustainment Challenge
The U.S. military works globally to protect our security at home. The global network needed to maintain the readiness of these warfighters and weapon systems is highly complex. It stretches across continents, from forward and main operating bases to depots manned by government and contractor labor. Each base and depot relies on a vast logistics enterprise that is supplied and serviced by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and their partners.
Needed: Systems Designed For Product Support
To capture new product support business and deliver profitably on existing programs, defense contractors must balance the pressure to reduce sustainment costs with continuing commitments for readiness, reliability, safety and availability.
Striking this balance requires processes and technology that handle the non-routine, unplanned nature of sustainment. Too often, program managers must rely on technology designed for the comparatively predictable manufacturing world.
They face significant technology challenges, including reliance on spreadsheets, inflexible home-grown systems, intractable data availability and quality issues, unsuitable planning and optimization tools, and limited visibility into event-driven performance.
Introducing PBL Command
CSC developed PBL Command to meet these challenges. It is an integrated software environment that helps users to improve program management, fine tune sustainment operations and analyze real-time performance.
PBL Command is scalable and pre-configured, powered by SAP, and billed as-aservice, allowing our clients to modernize their sustainment environment with limited need for new capital.
The service is flexible. It can be provisioned based on unique customer needs and mobilized rapidly in response to acquisition deadlines or contractual milestones. Service costs and services track predictably with program demands.
