DI-MGMT-80969 Production Surge Plan.pdf

This is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan (Document Number DI-MGMT-80969) which provides a framework for contractors to rapidly accelerate and sustain production capabilities during peacetime or emergency scenarios. The document outlines specific requirements for preparing a Production Surge Plan, including detailed instructions for developing comprehensive documentation about production capabilities.

Key elements of the Production Surge Plan must include: maximum sustainable production rates, lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components, critical production details, a schedule of production buildups, identification of potential production constraints, and comprehensive documentation of skilled labor requirements, materials, and production equipment. The plan must address how a contractor can increase production rate, reduce leadtime by at least 10 percent, and provide flexibility in scaling production within existing facility limitations. The document is intended to help government contractors demonstrate their ability to quickly adapt production processes in response to potential surge requirements.
