“And as we've said, going from 47 then to 52, that will be where we'll have to see improved performance from the supply chain, and, you know, we've got time.”

In context

“said. Just to give you a little bit of color, actually gone really well. The KPIs look really good. We achieved that effective rate in November and December on the 737 line. Now recognize that November and December are heavy holiday months. So now we'll be coming into more wholesome full months, and we need to continue to see stability. But so far, so good. And as I said, the good news is the KPIs still look good, so no deterioration there. Supply chain on that ramp, not a big issue for us right now. And we projected that. As you know, we've got a lot of inventory there. And I actually don't think supply chain is going to be a big challenge for us in the next rate ramp from 42 to 47. But that's where we start to normalize with the supply base in terms of burning off the excess inventory. And as we've said, going from 47 then to 52, that will be where we'll have to see improved performance from the supply chain, and, you know, we've got time. We're working that diligently with the supply chain. Right now, nothing says we can't do that, but a lot of work yet ahead of us. And again, I think it will be a tougher rate ramp to go from 47 to 52 than it was to go from 38 to 42 because of that inventory level. You mentioned Spirit, so I'll address that right now. You're right. In that Spirit, we're going to need to continue to invest in the capacity growth from Spirit. You know, I think this is one of the big and underwrites why we've made the acquisition so that we can guide that ramp and help them move forward. I think, you know, if they had continued in a distressed environment, I think that risk would have been significantly higher than our ability to go manage that. But that, like the rest of the supply chain, moving to that rate”
