I've actually been thinking about this ...
There was an initial lag time between the time when Nintendo released the Wii to when Nintendo realized they had a supply problem; as a guess, sometime in February or March they came to the realization that they needed to produce more Wii systems in order to meet demand. At this point Nintendo contacted manufacturing firms in order to manufacture Wii systems (and probably Wii accessories). Knowing Nintendo they probably entered into contracts with several manufacturers in order to protect themselves from being gouged by a particular manufacturer.
Depending on the terms of the contracts, from this point on all Nintendo has to do is realize that they want to increase production and then contact their manufacturers to increase Wii production; the only lag time that would exist would be the ammount of time for a manufacturer to bring a new facility online. Being that these manufacturers produce large volumes of varied consumer electronics for various companies, under various brands, for both long run and short run contracts they could probably increase Wii production quite rapidly.
