Actually, we -have- increased our production run sizes as much as 
possible to handle our initial order rate. We have increased both our 
parts orders and production/purchasing staffing to handle the demand. 
The current delivery schedule reflects that increase.

I'd like to ramp even faster, but to be honest we want to maintain our 
product quality and there are also limits on how fast we can many of our 
parts delivered. There are a lot of long lead time parts in any product 
(both standard and custom parts). It only takes one late parts delivery 
to slow everything down.

We are also trying hard not to over promise on deliveries. There are 
always chances for additional production start up delays, but we are 
trying to be as conservative as possible.

Plus we're running as fast as we can.. ;-)  Hang in there!
