DID Production Surge Plan.pdf

This document is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan, identified by number DI-MGMT-80969. The document outlines a contractor's requirements for developing a comprehensive plan to rapidly accelerate and sustain production using existing facilities and equipment during a peace-time acquisition environment or subsequent emergency war powers scenario.

The Production Surge Plan must include detailed documentation on multiple critical elements, such as: maximum sustainable production rates, lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components, potential surge impacts, additional labor requirements, strategic or critical materials needed, and an inventory of production equipment. The plan requires contractors to identify long-leadtime items, critical components, pacing items, and potential bottlenecks that could adversely impact production rates. The document specifies that contractors must provide granular details about production capabilities, including potential increases in production rate (up to 10 percent), tooling and equipment costs, and strategies for maintaining production within six months.
