Boeing's Ongoing Crisis: Manufacturing Woes and Public Mistrust
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Reuters
Boeing's production pressures and an exodus of experienced workers have led to a series of manufacturing defects and a second safety crisis in five years, as revealed by a recent incident involving a missing door panel on a 737 MAX. The company's rush to increase output has raised concerns about quality control, with an independent study commissioned to address the issue. The pressure to produce, coupled with a shortage of experienced inspectors, has contributed to a slow-rolling industrial train wreck, prompting soul-searching about Boeing's recovery from back-to-back crises.
