DI-MGMT-80969.pdf

This document is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan (Identification Number DI-MGMT-80969) that provides guidelines for contractors to rapidly accelerate and sustain production during peacetime acquisition environments. The DID outlines specific requirements for preparing a comprehensive Production Surge Plan, which must include detailed documentation such as:

Key plan components include: (1) maximum sustainable production rate with a building schedule, (2) two separate lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components with details like nomenclature, part number, leadtime, and critical/pacing item information, (3) a list of government contracts being performed at the contractor's facility, (4) impact analysis describing how surging this contract might affect other contracts' performance, (5) identification of additional skilled labor requirements, (6) lists of strategic/critical materials and production equipment needed to increase production rate and reduce leadtime by at least 10 percent. The document is marked for unlimited distribution and is intended to help contractors prepare for potential rapid production scaling without formal war mobilization.
