In industry, performance based logistics (PBL) strategies are increasingly popular ways to reduce cost, increase revenue, and attain customer satisfaction. The Journal of Business Logistics (Vol. 36, 2015) used the opinions of a sample of 17 upper-level employees of the U.S. Department of Defense and its suppliers to determine the factors that lead to successful PBL projects. The current position (e.g., vice president, manager [mgr.]), type of organization (commercial or government), and years of experience were measured for each employee interviewed. These data are listed below. Identify each variable measured as producing quantitative or qualitative data.
