Boeing is under the microscope once again. Hundreds of flights have been cancelled following the FAA's decision to ground several Boeing 737 MAX 9 planes after a mid-air panel blowout on an Alaska Airlines flight. Boeing's supplier Spirit Aerosystems has added fuel to the fire as a recent lawsuit claims Spirit overlooked widespread product defects to push the product out. This latest incident comes after a series of unfortunate events for Boeing: - 737 Max 8 crashes in 2018 and 2019 that killed nearly 350 people, causing a nearly two-year grounding of the aircraft, followed by a $2.5 billion settlement of a criminal probe. - In 2020, Boeing 777 experienced engine failure, dropping debris over Colorado - Halted deliveries of its 787 Dreamliner, for about a year starting in 2021 and again in 2023, due to quality concerns cited by the FAA Over the years, the company has racked up over $50 billion of debt and continues to fall further behind its competitor, Airbus. While customers have been reluctant to defect as they would have to wait years for new jets and switching can mean increased operational expense, Boeing’s name has taken a significant hit. The question looms for Boeing: will they take the right steps to rethink their supply chain strategy or will these challenges leave an irreparable dent on their reputation? #boeing737 #supplychainrisk #aircraftsafety

“The increased scrutiny on Boeing and its suppliers will have several impacts on the wider aviation industry. Both manufacturers and suppliers will face more stringent regulations and oversight, leading to increased compliance costs and potentially longer development timelines. "This will drive companies to invest in more advanced safety features and technologies to avoid similar pitfalls. “Suppliers will face tighter scrutiny and higher standards from manufacturers seeking to avoid quality control issues, which could lead to consolidation in the supply chain.” Linus Benjamin Bauer Interesting times ahead.

With this latest incident involving the Alaska Airlines plane losing a section of the plane, is this a moment of truth for Boeing? The aviation manufacturer has been plagued with issues affecting its Max 737 Max 9 including a couple of deadly crashes involving the Max 8 if memory serves me right. How can the company maintain the trust of it’s customers, the airlines, as well as the trust of the flying public? What do you think? How should Boeing handle this issue? Is it time, as some analysts say, for Boeing to go back to the drawing board rather than trying to band-aid the situation? From CNN: Boeing’s engineering and quality problems have posed major challenges for the company. The crashes of two of 737-8 Max jets that killed all 346 people on board the flights led to a crippling 20-month grounding of the plane. It also was one of the most expensive corporate tragedies in history, costing Boeing more than $20 billion. The Max returned to the air carrying passengers in most markets around the globe beginning in late December 2020. But it has encountered other problems, including in April when Boeing said it has discovered a manufacturing issue with some 737 Max aircraft after a supplier used a “non-standard manufacturing process” during the installation of two fittings in the rear fuselage – although Boeing insisted the problem did not constitute a safety risk.

The communications of the Boeing employees working on the door plug, previously unreported, help illuminate why it blew off during an Alaska Airlines flight on Jan 5. The factory was in disarray. Crews were unable to keep a schedule and apparently didn’t follow procedures, and production pressure mounted as delays piled up, according to entries in the SAT, people who have reviewed the logs and interviews with Boeing employees who worked on the plane. In their logs, workers extended 50 times the estimated time for completing work on the damaged rivets around the frame of the door plug. The delays ranged from a half-hour to days. The work was finally signed off on and officially completed by the morning shift on Sept. 20, after a final quality check was requested the previous day, the records show. The production breakdown had stunning consequences: The jet’s door plug blew off in flight, triggering an explosive loss of cabin pressure that risked the lives of passengers who could have been sucked out midair. It has sparked federal probes, including a criminal investigationhttps://lnkd.in/dBsSh797, and hastened the exit of senior leaders including Chief Executive David Calhoun https://lnkd.in/djtzsSBb, who had vowed to improve Boeing’s safety and quality. #boeing737 #boeing737max #boeingfactory #boeingquality #manufacturing #aerospace #boeingproduction #boeingceo #alaskaairlines #ntsb #faa
