minus-squareSemi-Hemi-Demigodlinkfedilink29•6 months agoHere’s how I think it went down: Conference Room, Spirit Aerosystems: “How can we reduce the hours needed to get the fuselages out of the door?” “We could skip tightening the door plug bolts. After all, they use them at Boeing to finish the interiors so it will actually save them time, too.” “Johnson, get this man a promotion!” Later that year Conference Room, Boeing “How can we reduce the hours needed to finish these interiors?” “We could just skip removing the door plugs and do it all from the actual doors. Then we don’t have to re-do something already done at the supplier” “Johnson, get this man a promotion!”

minus-squareSemi-Hemi-Demigodlinkfedilink6•6 months agoEspecially when you know that Spirit Aerosystems used to be a part of Boeing that they sold of as a cost cutting measure
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•6 months agoAlways seems weird to me, like they aren’t going to be making plans bodies for many other customers, so now Boeing has to pay extra for each body since now spirit aerosystems wants to have growing profits on every thing they make.
minus-square@Peppycitolink1•6 months agoThe savings is the deferred liability. Supposedly. They still stamp ‘Boeing’ on the turd.
Here’s how I think it went down:
Conference Room, Spirit Aerosystems:
“How can we reduce the hours needed to get the fuselages out of the door?”
“We could skip tightening the door plug bolts. After all, they use them at Boeing to finish the interiors so it will actually save them time, too.”
“Johnson, get this man a promotion!”
Later that year
Conference Room, Boeing
“How can we reduce the hours needed to finish these interiors?”
“We could just skip removing the door plugs and do it all from the actual doors. Then we don’t have to re-do something already done at the supplier”
“Johnson, get this man a promotion!”
So, lack of communication. That does seem to be a core part of problems in any place.
