Boeing is studying a new round of production increases for its 737 MAX after getting approval from regulators in May to hike production to 47 planes per month.
The head of Boeing’s commercial airplane unit, Stephanie Pope, said the company is using its safety management system and safety risk assessment to determine when to increase production.
Pope stated, “We’re using the safety management system and our safety risk assessment on when we’re stable and ready to go to the next rate. I’ve got the team focused on stabilising at 47. Once we get to 47, we’ll go to 52, and then we’ll just keep studying that.”
