Performance Based Logistics

VT Group understands that customers don't want a sheet of specifications and a flashy presentation, they want results – guaranteed. In keeping with military mandates on performance based logistics (PBL), VT Group provides an array of PBL capabilities. Our services not only comply with the military, they set the industry standards for availability risk management, efficiency and continuous improvement. VT techniques optimize total system availability while reducing and minimizing costs and logistics footprint. As such, our unique tools and techniques allow the customer to transfer risk to VT as we ensure system availability and required performance outputs.

By following this practice, VT Group guarantees a level of performance from maintenance and availability of partner-owned aircraft, to actually providing VT-owned ground vehicles and aircraft with a guarantee that they will be available and in top condition per the required parameters. The United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence is a global leader in employing acquisition strategies that apply PBL principles with industry partners, and has worked extensively with VT Group. Examples of this partnership approach in action include the following:

  • In partnership with the Royal Air Force, VT Group provides aviation maintenance and logistics for light aircraft flight training, guaranteeing aircraft availability for 50,000 flying hours per year; for over 100 aircraft on 12 bases, all owned, maintained and guaranteed available by VT; and all with turnkey service and an arrangement to provide the training at the cost of 35,000 hours of flight training
  • VT Group also provides availability risk management and "Through-life" support for basic fast jet training, guaranteeing 13,000 flying hours per year on customer-owned assets to ensure military pilots achieve their training objectives
  • VT Group delivers system availability and required service quality through Public Private Partnership (PPP) contracts covering a range of systems including strategic high frequency communications services to the armed services

We apply unique and proven asset availability and risk management tools and techniques with skilled professionals who ensure both the availability of assets and support infrastructure, and the safety of personnel while our partners' employees are free to focus on other mission critical tasks.
