With late parts and back shop failures they are pushing out unfinished planes.
Constantly designating people and working outside or in random bays that are not equipped to build the plane.
I don’t understand why they don’t stop the line to recoup from parts shortages. Terrible management starting from the top.
With the 777x sliding further away again, there is talk sending lots to Renton again causing even more labor shortages.
This is a perfect example of why, getting out of the part fabrication business, and completely being dependent upon suppliers for your parts can be high risk for your business.
But the bean counters at Boeing, who only look at cost, and nothing else have to have a complete failure of the supplier management system for them to recognize it’s a bad idea.
It was stupid of Boeing management to offload and send 777X engineering design, analysis and tool design work to McDonnell Douglas in St Louis oops I mean Boeing in St Louis. What does McDonnell Douglas know about commercial airplane design? The commercial airplane McDonnell Douglas tried to design in the mid 1990's to safe their stupid company was garbage. Boeing was stupid to ever merge with McDonnell Douglas. Who in their right mind would ever move from Seattle to St Louis.
Never seen such poor quality go out the door everyday. The next gen was the last quality plane built. Even the p-8 is junk now. Very sad. Almost 30 yrs in this company. Tell friends and family not to fly Boeing. There shocked. When ya see what I see you would understand. I can remember feeling good about going to work and felt proud what we do here. Not so much anymore. Total s show.
Boeing still hasn't officially announced 777X is canceled? What are they waiting for?
Boeing leadership policy is solely based on personal greed and nothing else. More people will most certainly die. The FAA is clueless and too weak to do anything about it. If you have half a brain, you don't fly on Boeing products, period.
The Boeing company has always "talked the talk" but never "walked the walk"
Stopping the line when a problem occurs is one of the most basic Lean principles that management preached, but never had the guts to do.
Report to FAA.
You have to either be a relative or a total losser to still be working at Boeing.
Boeing is a Hot Mess.
Everything we touch turns into a hot steaming mess.
Experience has fled the company as no competent wants to work for incompetent.
adding to that, Management Drives Away Experienced and competent workers
to control cost and keep the company young and lean
The result is a Hot Mess.
Black-Rock investment bankers running an engineering / aviation company ----
What could go wrong ? ---- EVERYTHING From the Flight Ramp to Space
EVERYTHING IS WRONG, and will stay that way all the way to the END
And to think union members voted away their pension for a failed program such as the 777x.
