The US was capable of producing 3 atomic bombs a month at the end of WW2. This would suggest it took a bit over a week to make each bomb kit. However it isn't that simple, the 3 bomb per month bottleneck was the Hanford plutonium production reactors: each of the 3 reactors could make 1 bomb worth (6.2 kg) of plutonium a month and they ran in parallel.
