DI-MGMT-80969.pdf

This document is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan, identified by the number DI-MGMT-80969. The purpose of the Production Surge Plan is to outline a contractor's capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production utilizing existing facilities and equipment in a peace-time acquisition environment, without a declaration of war or mobilization, and for subsequent use of emergency war powers.

The document provides detailed preparation instructions for the Production Surge Plan, which must include: the maximum sustainable production rate with a building schedule, two lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components (including details like nomenclature, part number, leadtime, and critical or pacing items), a list of government contracts being performed at the contractor's facility, impact analysis on other contracts' performance, additional skilled labor requirements, a list of strategic or critical materials needed, and a list of production equipment that could increase production rate or reduce leadtime by at least 10 percent. The plan is intended to provide comprehensive data for surge (accelerated production) planning of select items, with a focus on production preparedness and flexibility.
