04:06 PM EST, 02/04/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Boeing ( BA ) is expecting to increase factory output later this year as recent efforts to improve supply chain and production quality bear fruit, a Boeing ( BA ) senior vice president told an industry conference on Tuesday, according to a Bloomberg report.

In remarks at the Pacific Northwest Aerospace Alliance conference near Seattle, Ihssane Mounir said Boeing ( BA ) is seeing significant changes in terms of quality, since the door plug incident on a Boeing 737-Max in January 2024 that resulted in investigations and an aggressive quality initiative at the company and at Spirit AeroSystems ( SPR ) , which builds fuselages used by Boeing ( BA ).

Boeing ( BA ) also has been working to create close relationships with other suppliers, as well as dispatching "armies" of inspectors at all levels of production, Mounir reportedly said.

Boeing ( BA ) is looking to increase 737 production above the current 38-jets-per-month limit by mid-year, according to the report.

Boeing ( BA ) did not immediately return a message from MT Newswires seeking additional information.
