Snafus in production means work gets completed out of sequence; ‘It creates opportunities for failure.’ So-called traveled work—when work is completed out of the production line’s ordinary sequence—emerged as a problem during a review of Boeing’s safety culture. Workers say traveled work makes their jobs harder and increases the likelihood for mistakes, but phasing out the practice is tough because it helps keep planes rolling off the line. Keeping production lines moving even when certain parts aren’t available for a given job helps avoid costly slowdowns. Last week, Boeing told staff it was changing how it determines pay for tens of thousands of nonunion employees—from mechanics in South Carolina to its top brass. Quality measures, such as reducing traveled work, will now determine 60% of the annual bonuses for those working on its commercial aircraft. 📰 The Wall Street Journal: https://lnkd.in/ek2xEFN8 #Boeing #Manufacturing #Production

More than 800 attendees from 53 airlines, industry suppliers and Boeing met this week at the 787 Dreamliner Fleet Team Conference in Huntington Beach, CA, to discuss the performance and future growth of the program and the in-service fleet of more than 1,000 787s flying around the world every day. “The 787 is the best-selling widebody airplane family in history and has a long, bright future ahead,” said Lane Ballard, VPGM of the 787 program and Boeing South Carolina site leader. "It's an invaluable opportunity for us to get our customers' direct feedback and input for the future here at the 787 Fleet Team Conference." The 787 family's fuel efficiency and range were key factors for airlines recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic challenges. The airplane continues to see strong customer demand, with nearly 350 orders in the past year alone. All three versions of the 787 (-8,-9, and -10) are produced in North Charleston, South Carolina, and supported by Customer Support teams around the globe. #Dreamliner #TeamBoeing

Disarray Inside Boeing’s 737 Factory Before the Door Plug Blowout Interesting WSJ article on the disarray at the Boeing Renton plant during the weeks that the ill fated 737 MAX jet with the door plug blowout was being assembled. While everyone has been piling on Boeing these past few months it is important to remember that the situations that resulted in procedures note being followed can happen in any organization with well trained personnel and safety systems when schedule and production impacts costs and trying to please customers and other stakeholders. The door plug blew out because workers failed to replace four critical bolts. However, there were numerous other factors that contributed to that error being made. There is no excuse for the missing bolts, but it is always a series of little things that culminate in a more critical incident. An interesting comment by the FAA Chief that he was troubled when he tour the Renton factory and did not get a safety briefing (something that he would expect) prior to starting the tour. #safety #Boeing #safetyculture

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

I believe that this is the right move by Boeing to regain their reliability within the industry and in public after the last unfortunate accidents and incidents.

Author of "From Impressed To Obsessed" | Customer & Employee Experience Expert | Keynote Speaker | Advisor to CEOs
"[Employees are told that safety is the top priority] 'but then they see airplanes being pushed out with work not being finished.'" That was an observation from a member of the independent panel that recently reviewed Boeing's safety culture (as reported by the WSJ). Boeing is certainly not the first company to have sent conflicting signals to its workforce about the importance of product or service quality. And it surely won’t be the last. Cases in point: Contact centers that stress the importance of customer satisfaction, yet measure service reps primarily on call handle time. Or businesses that emphasize the value of customer feedback, yet do nothing after soliciting it. You can’t create a quality-focused, customer-centric business by declaration. Rather, it must be reflected in every aspect of the workplace -- from how you hire and train, to how you measure and reward, to how you manage and govern. https://lnkd.in/e2C2j8Br #CX #CustomerExperience #CustomerService #Leadership #Quality #Boeing #CustomerCentricity

Many top corporate leaders in the US often undervalue the significance of production and operations. They said that to my face! Today's WSJ reveals that Boeing has a lot of operational issues to deal with. It has forced its CEO to resign. So, are operations and supply chains important? I let you decide. This pix gives you a clue. #operations #supplychain #safety #publicsafety #usa #ucla #uclaanderson

Safety Pays We think we know what we're doing/We don't know a thing/It's all in the past now/Money changes everything— Cyndi Lauper. When trying to increase profits, many companies often chant the same old mantra, "Let's cut costs." Aerospace is not immune to such cries. Recent events at The Boeing Company have highlighted how hurrying planes out the door led to a door bolting off a plane. The no-door idea works for Jeep but is a bad look on an airliner. Many see safety requirements as just another hurdle to jump on the way to making money. It's a cost once sunk, never to be seen again. But data analysis tells a different story. All the excellent work Boeing (before Max) and others did to reduce loss rates increased airliner Value (sustainable prices). Below, the Boeing 737-800 had a hull loss rate of 0.2 per million flights. At less than 1/31st of the Tupolev Tu-204 loss rate, it explains how the Boeing 737 series commanded a higher price and sold over 100 times as many as its Russian counterpart with less capacity, range, and speed. Diligent workers want to put out the best possible products. Keeping their established quality helps the brand’s Value and bottom line. #hypernomics #boeing #safety #value #valueofsafety
