DID_PRODUCTION SURGE PLAN_DI-MGMT-80969.pdf

This document is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan (Identification Number DI-MGMT-80969) that outlines a contractor's methodology for rapidly accelerating and sustaining production capabilities during a peace-time acquisition environment without a declaration of war or mobilization.

The DID provides detailed instructions for preparing a Production Surge Plan, which must include critical elements such as: the maximum sustainable production rate, building a production schedule, lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components, a list of government contracts being performed at the contractor's facility, impact analysis of surging the current contract on other contracts, identification of additional skilled labor requirements, lists of strategic/critical materials needed, and an inventory of production equipment. The plan is designed to help contractors demonstrate their capability to increase production rates, reduce lead times, and improve surge protection capabilities for select items.
