In Zeiten knapper Kassen und sinkender Budgets gab das US-Verteidigungsministerium 2001 bekannt, zukünftig verstärkt das Konzept der „Performance-based Logistics“ (PBL) zur Verschlankung der militärischen Supply Chain einzusetzen. Bestärkt durch die bisherigen Erfolge im angelsächsischen Raum, findet der Ansatz mittlerweile auch in Europa große Beachtung. Der vorliegende Beitrag verfolgt das Ziel, den PBL-Begriff zu erläutern und den Innovationsgehalt des Konzepts kritisch zu hinterfragen. Darauf aufbauend gelingt die Identifikation von Anwendungspotenzialen in der zivilen Logistik. In 2001, when money was tight and budgetary resources limited, the United States Department of Defense announced the further implementation of “Performance-based Logistics” (PBL), a concept which was supposed to streamline the military supply chain. After some quite impressive success stories in the Anglo-Saxon world, the concept now attracts some interest in Europe. Therefore, this article pursues the goal of answering the following three questions: (1) What does PBLactually stand for? (2) What is the innovative contribution of the concept? (3) What potentials exist for the application of PBL in civil logistics? Keywords: performance based logistics

This paper describes the problem of balancing national security needs and environmental quality concerns in the United States Department of Defense. The Department of Defense (DoD) is often symbolized to the public as military uniforms, fighters and bombers, aircraft carriers and submarines, tanks and missiles. But it is much more; it is a human organization concerned with the welfare of the citizens and the environment they live in. It would make little sense for DoD to be building the defenses of the nation if in doing so it was threatening the health of the environment. Defense should mean the defense of the environment, too.
