I think though that the Boeing's 787 production line is a lot simpler and less cluttered and they seem to pump them out faster than Airus can? Boeing has been pushing up 787 production for years, trying to offset initial programme delays, whereas Airbus is still ramping up A350 production. Each step in that process has been carefully planned for years and is constrained by present supplier capacity of production, not by FAL capacity.

Production ramp-up can be challenging. Even the 787 rate increase from 7 to 10 per month didn't went smoothly for example.

It was in cabin fit for quite some time and has been moved there again to finish up the cabin. It should roll out soon.
