SEATTLE/PARIS (Reuters) - Boeing Co has started boosting 787 Dreamliner production to 14 jets a month from 12, Chief Executive Dennis Muilenburg said on Wednesday, putting the U.S. planemaker within reach of a key target designed to boost cash and lower costs.

It expects to complete the increase in production in the second quarter, Muilenburg told analysts on a conference call.

"We have started transitioning to 14 a month in our factories and supply chains as we prepare to begin delivering at this higher rate," Muilenburg said.
