The place was set up to make 10 - 30 bikes a day of widely ranging sizes and models. All the tooling was optimized to make one offs give or take. This way they could respond to orders quickly and keep stock to a minimum. It worked very well for that purpose but the idea of making 100 unit runs of bikes in five sizes would not be the shop's forte.
One could of course change this but that means a huge investment to get things set up to deal with the numbers.
