Production Surge Plan DID.pdf

This document is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan, identified by the 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 potential emergency or non-war acquisition environment.

The Production Surge Plan must include several key components: 1) Maximum sustainable production rate with a production building schedule, 2) Detailed lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components with critical characteristics, 3) A list of Government contracts being performed at the contractor's facility, 4) Impact analysis of surging production on current and other potential Government contracts, 5) Identification of additional skilled labor requirements, 6) A list of strategic or critical materials needed, and 7) An inventory of production equipment and associated costs. The plan is designed to help the Government understand a contractor's capability to quickly increase production capacity for critical items with minimal disruption.
