This document is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan, identified by the number DI-MGMT-80969. The document provides detailed instructions for creating a Production Surge Plan that enables a contractor to rapidly accelerate and sustain production utilizing existing facilities and equipment during a peace-time acquisition environment, without a declaration of war or mobilization.

The Production Surge Plan must include several key components: the maximum sustainable production rate, a building schedule, lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components, a list of government contracts being performed at the contractor's facility, detailed impact analysis of surging production, identification of additional skilled labor requirements, a list of strategic or critical materials needed, and an inventory of production equipment. The plan aims to help contractors increase production rate, reduce lead times by at least 10%, and improve surge protection capability, with the ultimate goal of preparing for potential emergency or war-time production needs.
