Morphology
The meaning 'to increase the level or rate of production' is directly derivable from combining 'ramp' (to increase in stages) with 'production' (output); a learner who knows both words can infer this sense as a straightforward verb + noun composition. The phrase parallels the common construction 'ramp up production' and aligns with cross-linguistic ways of expressing an increase in output, so the relation is transparent.
Etymology
The verb ramp production comes from the image of a ramp, a sloped road or platform that helps things go up quickly. So to ramp production is to push output 'up' quickly, meaning 'to increase production'.
