BOP Program Statement 8340.10 § 3
PRODUCTION PLANNING
The Factory Manager will develop production plans that are consistent with the required delivery
dates of customer orders and demonstrated factory capacities. These plans are reviewed monthly
at the Operations Review Meeting, attended by the:
■ AW/SOI (where applicable).
■ Factory Manager.
■ Business Manager or Operational Accountant.
■ Quality Assurance Manager.
■ Procurement Agent/Contracting Officer (where applicable).
Attendees assess the status of current operations and identify potential constraints that may
prevent the production plan from being achieved successfully.
The Factory Manager identifies any areas for which required capacity is greater than
demonstrated capacity and develops plans to address the capacity shortage through:
■ Production order rescheduling.
■ Hiring additional inmates.
■ Overtime, as approved by the general manager.
■ Other appropriate means.
If customer orders become overloaded to the extent that viable production plans, consistent with
customer order delivery requirements, cannot be established, the AW/SOI confers with the
Program Manager and the CSC and submits a written recovery plan to the General Manager that
analyzes the overloaded condition’s causes and identifies steps to prevent recurrence.
