DID Production Surge Plan.pdf

This is a Data Item Description (DID) document that outlines the format and content requirements for a Production Surge Plan. The DID (DI-MGMT-80969) specifies how contractors must document their capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production using existing facilities and equipment during peacetime acquisition, without requiring wartime mobilization.

The Production Surge Plan must include: maximum sustainable production rates with monthly buildup schedules; lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items with nomenclature, part numbers, leadtimes and production buildup details; identification of critical/pacing components; a list of relevant government contracts that could be surged; impact analysis on other contracts and commercial business; skilled labor requirements; strategic/critical materials inventory needs; and production equipment requirements that could increase surge capacity by at least 10%. The plan should address maintaining surge production within six months and include substitute materials that could be used for strategic/critical materials. This DID supersedes DI-P-1634A and works in conjunction with DI-P-7046 for Industrial Preparedness Planning.
