Effective management of supply chains, pivotal for sustaining business operations, is increasingly challenged by rising costs and complexity in logistics processes. Performance-Based Logistics (PBL) emerges as a critical strategy to enhance logistical effectiveness and competitiveness by focusing on performance targets rather than merely procuring products or services for maintenance and repair. This study examines the implementation of PBL in manufacturing enterprises and explores the factors influencing its benefits. By employing the polytopic fuzzy Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) method, a sophisticated Multi-criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) technique, criteria were weighted to determine their impact on PBL effectiveness. It was found that the paramount criterion affecting PBL advantages is the capability to manage operations more effectively, whereas the reduction in system lifecycle costs through savings in labor and training was identified as the least impactful. This analysis not only underscores the necessity of designing reliable systems that align with customer expectations but also highlights the added value PBL provides by integrating reduced support elements essential for logistics and sustainability. The findings advocate for meticulous emphasis on PBL practices within business models to optimize operational efficiency and strategic advantage.
