Performance Based Logistics (PBL)

Workshop on the economic viability of innovative contract models with case studies from Germany

This training explains the conceptual content of PBL as well as the possibility of combining PBL with other cooperation concepts ("ILS", "CLS", "Hole-in-the-wall"). In addition, approaches in the private sector (Performance Based Contracting, PBC) are examined by presenting examples from plant construction (operator models) or rail transport (full-service leasing).
PBL/PBC alternatives are used to illustrate how greater economic efficiency can be achieved. In addition, the specific opportunities and risks of PBL are identified and discussed.
