Smith said Wednesday that Boeing hopes to deliver at least 30 more Dreamliners in the second half of the year. Between its 787 factories in North Charleston and Everett, Wash., Boeing is now making 3.5 Dreamliners per month but plans to increase that rate to five per month by the end of this year -- and up to 10 per month by the end of next year. The local aft-body operation, which Boeing bought from Vought Aircraft Industries as part of a broader effort to gain control of its global supply chain, is crucial to that ramp-up because it supplies major fuselage pieces for every 787. But its performance has been uneven. Earlier this year, incorrect shimming traced to building 88-19 required fixes and delayed deliveries. Boeing has been installing new tooling in that factory to improve production.
