DID Production Surge Plan.pdf

This document is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan, with the identification number DI-MGMT-80969. The document provides detailed guidance for contractors to develop a plan demonstrating their capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production utilizing existing facilities and equipment in a potential emergency acquisition environment without a declaration of war.

The Production Surge Plan must include several key components: the maximum sustainable production rate, lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components, a list of Government contracts being performed, potential impact analysis of surging production, identification of additional skilled labor requirements, and a comprehensive list of strategic or critical materials and production equipment. The plan should detail production buildups, critical items, lead times, and potential increases in production capabilities, with the goal of providing the Government with data to develop additional surge capacity if deemed essential.
