DI_MGMT_80969_Surge.pdf

This document is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan with the identification 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 creating the Production Surge Plan, which must include: the maximum sustainable production rate, a building schedule, lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components, a list of government contracts being performed at the contractor's facility, impact analysis on other contracts, additional labor requirements, a list of strategic or critical materials needed, and a list of production equipment. The plan should help identify long-leadtime, critical, or pacing items, describe potential surge protection capabilities, and demonstrate the ability to increase production rate and reduce lead times by at least 10 percent.
