GAO was asked to compare industry practices for activities using complex and costly equipment with life-cycle management issues similar to those of military systems to identify lessons learned that can be useful to DOD. This is the first of two reports addressing DOD's implementation of performance-based logistics and is intended to facilitate DOD's development of new guidance on the use of this approach. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-715/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-715.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-715/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-715.pdf GAO-04-715 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-715 Other Written Product GAO-04-715; Defense Management: Opportunities to Enhance the Implementation of Performance-Based Logistics; Best practices Comparative analysis Defense cost control Defense procurement Logistics Military policies Policy evaluation Private sector practices Procurement policy Weapons systems Comparative benchmarking products Performance-based contracting F-117 Aircraft Goshawk Aircraft Javelin Missile System Osprey Aircraft Stealth Aircraft T-45 Aircraft TOW Missile V-22 Aircraft Public Law 106-398
