An article in the New York Times (March 28, 2024) titled “”‘Shortcuts Everywhere’: How Boeing Favored Speed over Quality” describes examples of monthly production rates of the 737 Max increased from 42 in 2017 to 52 in 2018, suppliers pushed to speed up, and quality and safety compromised. But competitive pressures from Airbus required a response, and Boeing had a safety committee and increased quality inspectors by 20%. Will replacement of senior management suffice, or will the fraction of the supply chain that is outsourced need to be reconsidered to improve airplane reliability ? How should systems be adjusted to prioritize quality, eliminate self-verification by mechanics, and made it nonnegotiable ? Is the root cause less experienced workers on the line, and should more be spent on technology to reduce the impact of this inexperience ?
