Boeing was using under-qualified workers to build their rockets for
space flight, causing quality control issues,
a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
report released Thursday found.

NASA audited the Boeing Space Launch System (SLS) project, which
has been in development since 2014 and is scheduled to make a flight
to the moon in 2028, in order to find out what has caused delays and
increased costs, according to the report.
The NASA Office of Inspector General alleged Boeing had a lack of
“trained and experienced aerospace workers” working on the SLS,
with NASA calling it a major factor in delaying construction.
Efforts by Boeing to provide in-house training have been inadequate,
and “significant quality control deficiencies”
persisted at the Michoud Assembly Facility, according to the report.
“For example, during our visit to Michoud in April 2023,
we observed a liquid oxygen fuel tank dome—a critical component
of the SLS Core Stage 3—segregated and pending disposition on whether
and how it can safely be used going forward due to welds that
did not meet NASA specifications,” the report said.
“According to NASA officials, the welding issues arose due to Boeing’s
inexperienced technicians and inadequate work order planning
along with equally inept supervision.
The lack of a trained and qualified workforce increases the risk that
Boeing will continue to manufacture parts and components that
do not adhere to NASA requirements and industry standards.”
(Through some more MBA at the problems, spread sheets will fix all of them.)
