DI-MGMT-80969 Production Surge Plan.pdf

This document is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan (Identification Number DI-MGMT-80969) that delineates a contractor's capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production utilizing existing facilities and equipment during a potential emergency or pre-war acquisition environment.

The DID provides detailed instructions for preparing a Production Surge Plan, which must include: the maximum sustainable production rate, building a production schedule, lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components with details like part numbers and leadtimes, a list of government contracts being performed at the contractor's facility, potential impact assessments on other contracts, additional labor requirements, strategic materials needed, and production equipment details. The plan aims to help contractors demonstrate their ability to increase production rates, identify critical components, and improve surge protection capabilities, with the goal of accelerating production planning for select items in a rapid response scenario.
