  • Class 007 — Machines and machine tools: Machines and Machine Tools. Design for Manufacturing principles for machines, machine tools, and manufacturing equipment intended to enable rapid changes in production volume to meet dramatic changes in demand such as in Opportunistic Warfare, where production must quickly ramp up to meet unpredicted needs. Surge Manufacturing principles address the requirements for extended low or zero production and the requirements for large volume production. In contrast to traditional Full-Rate Production, Surge Manufacturing must support both complete shutdowns and swift activation of available manufacturing capacity to effectively respond to sudden spikes in demand. The use of widely available manufacturing processes, widely available materials, standardized components, and low-maintenance manufacturing methods enables parallel production, scalability, and ensures reliable production during rapid ramp-up.
  • Class 009 — Scientific and electric apparatus: Scientific and Electrical Apparatus. Design for Manufacturing principles for electronic apparatus, control systems, software, and components intended to enable rapid changes in production volume to meet dramatic changes in demand such as in Opportunistic Warfare, where production must quickly ramp up to meet unpredicted needs. Surge Manufacturing principles address the requirements for extended low or zero production and the requirements for large volume production. In contrast to traditional Full-Rate Production, Surge Manufacturing must support both complete shutdowns and swift activation of available manufacturing capacity to effectively respond to sudden spikes in demand. The use of widely available manufacturing processes, widely available materials, standardized components, and low-maintenance manufacturing methods enables parallel production, scalability, and ensures reliable production during rapid ramp-up.
  • Class 012 — Vehicles: Design for Manufacturing principles for vehicles and related hardware intended to enable rapid changes in production volume to meet dramatic changes in demand such as in Opportunistic Warfare, where production must quickly ramp up to meet unpredicted needs. Surge Manufacturing principles address the requirements for extended low or zero production and the requirements for large volume production. In contrast to traditional Full-Rate Production, Surge Manufacturing must support both complete shutdowns and swift activation of available manufacturing capacity to effectively respond to sudden spikes in demand. The use of widely available manufacturing processes, widely available materials, standardized components, and low-maintenance manufacturing methods enables parallel production, scalability, and ensures reliable production during rapid ramp-up.
  • Class 035 — Advertising and business services: Business Management and Consulting Services based on design and manufacturing principles that enable rapid changes in production volume to meet dramatic changes in demand. Surge Manufacturing principles address the requirements for extended low or zero production and the requirements for large volume production – noting that for Full-Rate Production it is typically less cost to start a vehicle production line than it is to restart the same line.
  • Class 040 — Treatment of materials: Design for Manufacturing principles for manufacturing and material treatment services intended to enable rapid changes in production volume to meet dramatic shifts in demand. An exemplar scenario is opportunistic warfare, where production may be dormant for extended periods but must quickly ramp up to meet unpredictable emerging needs. These principles address extended low or zero production followed by quick onboarding of multiple manufacturing facilities enabling parallel production across widely available manufacturers. In contrast with traditional Full-Rate Production, Surge Manufacturing must support both production shutdowns and swift activation of widely available manufacturing capacity to successfully respond to sudden demand spikes. The use of commonly available manufacturing processes, widely accessible materials, standardized components, and low-maintenance manufacturing methods enhances parallel production, scalability, and reliable rapid ramp-up.
  • Class 041 — Education and entertainment services: Education and Training Services. Design for Manufacturing principles for educational and training programs intended to enable rapid changes in production volume to meet dramatic shifts in demand. An exemplar scenario is in Opportunistic Warfare, where production knowledge and skills may be dormant for extended periods but must quickly ramp up to meet unpredictable emerging needs. These principles emphasize training on rapid onboarding of multiple manufacturing facilities and coordination of parallel production across widely available manufacturers. Unlike traditional Full-Rate Production, Surge Manufacturing education must prepare for both production shutdowns and swift activation of widely available manufacturing capacity to effectively meet sudden demand surges. Courses focus on commonly available manufacturing processes, widely accessible materials, standardized components, and low-maintenance manufacturing methods to support scalable, reliable rapid ramp-up.
  • Class 042 — Scientific and technological services: Scientific and Technological Services. Design for Manufacturing principles for scientific research, development, and consulting services intended to enable rapid changes in production volume to meet dramatic shifts in demand. An exemplar scenario is opportunistic warfare, where product development and manufacturing capability may be dormant for extended periods but must quickly ramp up to meet unpredictable emerging needs. These principles support rapid onboarding of multiple manufacturing facilities enabling parallel production across widely available manufacturers. In contrast to traditional Full-Rate Production, Surge Manufacturing design must accommodate both full shutdowns and quick activation of widely available manufacturing capacity to respond effectively to demand spikes. Focus is placed on commonly available manufacturing processes, widely accessible materials, standardized components, and low-maintenance methods to ensure scalability and reliable rapid ramp-up.
