The article doesn't say but it was dated 6 May this year. This one, by Texas A&M University, was published 2 months 3 weeks ago:
...Lockheed Martin has already developed the plans to implement the increased production rate, but is open to new techniques that may identify improvements in the current plan.
"Lockheed Martin plans to increase their F-35 production rate by about four and a half times from their current rate," Banerjee said. "The plan is to increase the production rate in stages over the next few quarters."...
(Are you always this desperate to find some cloud associated with every silver lining or is it just where the F-35 is concerned?

Merry Christmas.
