DI-MGMT-80969-Surge.pdf

This document is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan (DI-MGMT-80969) that outlines a contractor's methodology for rapidly accelerating and sustaining production during peacetime or emergency scenarios. The DID provides comprehensive instructions for preparing a surge plan that includes:

Key requirements include developing detailed lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components, identifying maximum sustainable production rates, documenting potential production impacts, and listing critical materials, labor requirements, and production equipment. The plan must specify production buildups, long-leadtime items, critical or pacing components, and potential surge capabilities that could increase production rates by at least 10 percent or reduce lead times within existing facility constraints. The document is designed to help contractors demonstrate their ability to quickly scale production capabilities in response to potential defense mobilization needs.
