Abstract

Performance-based contracting in the defence sector, also known as performance-based logistics (PBL), is attracting growing interest from operations and supply management scholars. In the defence sector, PBL entails outsourcing weapon system-related maintenance and logistics activities in such a way that it incentivises suppliers to invest in equipment reliability and process improvements at a reasonable cost. Research has advanced our knowledge of how PBL contracts are designed and implemented, but we still have only limited understanding of PBL evaluation issues, specifically PBL effectiveness and its influencing factors. Focusing on the defence context, we address this knowledge gap through a systematic literature review and synthesis of 45 peer-reviewed articles. We identify 15 factors influencing PBL effectiveness, which are grouped into six categories: governance, supply chain management, defence buyer input, innovation, environmental factors, and resources and capabilities. We extend prior research by developing a classification framework of the factors influencing PBL effectiveness. Further, we leverage defence industry-specific characteristics to suggest avenues for impactful future research through a series of propositions, including the need to examine how political factors influence the effectiveness of performance-based contracting in the defence sector. We also suggest that environmental sustainability and resilience requirements should be included when evaluating the effectiveness of PBL contracts and defence contracting more generally.

国防部门绩效合同的有效性:系统文献综述
国防部门基于绩效的合同,也被称为基于绩效的物流(PBL),正吸引着越来越多的运营和供应管理学者的兴趣。在国防领域,PBL需要外包武器系统相关的维护和后勤活动,从而激励供应商以合理的成本投资于设备可靠性和工艺改进。研究提高了我们对PBL合同如何设计和实施的认识,但我们对PBL评估问题的理解仍然有限,特别是PBL有效性及其影响因素。专注于国防背景,我们通过系统的文献综述和45篇同行评议文章的综合来解决这一知识差距。我们确定了影响PBL有效性的15个因素,这些因素分为6类:治理、供应链管理、国防买方投入、创新、环境因素以及资源和能力。我们通过开发影响PBL有效性因素的分类框架来扩展先前的研究。此外,我们利用国防工业的特定特征,通过一系列命题为有影响力的未来研究提供途径,包括需要研究政治因素如何影响国防部门基于绩效的合同的有效性。我们还建议,在更普遍地评估PBL合同和国防合同的有效性时,应包括环境可持续性和弹性要求。
