I was a manufacturing engineer/planner at Boeing for 24 years before contracting. When McDonald Douglas took over Boeing, it all went to hell.

In 2000 Boeing implemented SAP from OLP computer system. And went from part number control to tiers. A complete disaster. They were trying to copy the car manufacturing process. YOU DO NOT HERE THE CEO SAY THEY ARE PUTTING IN PROCESS QUALITY INSPECTIONS BACK INTO THE MANUFACTURING PLANNING. Because that slows down production and interferes with schedule and filling up Boeings pot of gold. Remember the old Boeing rule. Schedule and Quality the twine shall never meet. The CEO will always push Schedule over quality.

Sad this happened and a shame for Americans

There use to be engineering change codes that told everyone the reason for the change, such as a planning error, engineering error, vendor error, etc. So that Boeing could back charge the vendors for extra work due to quality of work and matrix for how many errors are occurring and why to prevent production disruption.

5 of us with 24 years experience at Boeing SC in 2007 were terminated because we refused to place released engineering onto the planning after release because it did not match what was installed per the EQC. Management said they did not have time. And we said it's not an option, and we will not falsify living manufacturing documents. So they fired us, and the young planners out of school did what they were told. If an airplane goes down, they should go to jail. Its an easy check. Just pull the EQC's and the planning after engineering was released and verify the engineering part configuration match. If not, search for the tag. If there is no tag, the configuration is in jeopardy. ITS A MASSIVE ISSUE. BOEING DIDNT LOOSE THE PLANNING DOCUMENTS. THEY DESTROYED THEM.

Thank you for your service. People like you are why we have had the luxury of flying so safely for past several decades. I really hope a competitor, maybe a space x spinoff, start designing and building plans. We need an alternative to boeing.

@heyaisdabomb THX, Hawley, and Johnson do not want the truth. I spoke to both their office personnel. Having a CEO testify is good for theatrics, but the CEO can be sued and fired for what is said if it affects the stock price. Bring in the working class if they will talk.

No. They put DEI ahead of safety

I contacted Hawleys office and talked to his staff for 30 minutes three months ago. But never heard back from him. He does not want to know the truth. I worked at Charleston in 2005-2007. A god damn nightmare. They dropped two completely stuffed 46 sections on the ground from 4ft with in 4 month span. Those sections were blessed and are in the air. They were reallocated to another aircraft. There is no way for them to inspect if any delamination occurred. But they were not going to scrap a $25 million dollar barrel section. I WILL NOT FLY ON ANY 787

Alenia aeronautical in Italy lost engineering configuration control and had no idea what they shipped on every fking aircraft. Vought the same for the 49 section tail section from the aft bulkhead.

The first 75 787 in Charleston were built using EQC. (Engineering Quick Changes) an abobe micro soft product. Because Desault Systems Enovia and Delmia were taking 3 months to get released. But engineering did not freeze design. Meaning a -1 was installed on the aircraft but when the official enginnering dropped via Enovia the -1 did not match the -1 per yhe EQC. WHICH MEANT THE PART VERSION HAD TO BE VERIFIED ON THE AIRCRAFT. IF IT DID NOT MATCH THE PART HAD TO BE TAGGED AND ENGINEERING HAD TO DISPOSITION THE PART SUCH AS, USE AS IS, REMOVE SCRAP, REMOVE AND REWORK...ETC. I can 100% tell you the 1st 75 aicraft are filled with mon conforming parts. The unqualified quality inspectors did not know their jobs. Next to impossible to get them to tag the part. They were told not too.

737 line was able to retain experienced mechanics because they all went running back from the 787 because the planning, Parts and engineering was a mess.

Remember that Boeings manufacturing certicates under ISO 9000, 9001 dictate that manufacturing controls must be in place and viable to keep their certificate.

@thefreedomaffect5131 Ай бұрын

Boeing got rid of their OPSP (outside production specification plans) documents and OPSP engineers to verify parts were built per engineering before shipping. And stopped receiving inspections. In other words Quality is you. Everyone is supposed to do the right thing and police their own quality of parts and assemblies. I SAY MY PRAYERS EVERY TIME I FLY. I PREFER DRIVING SINCE 2000.

@thefreedomaffect5131 Ай бұрын

Boeing let MRP/ERP (material resource planning/enterprise resource planning) overtake manufacturing engineering and had no idea what ME did. ME was responsible for airplane configuration control per engineering via Manufacturing Planning documents for mechanics build requirements. MRP/ERP ARE BEAN COUNTERS ONLY

@thefreedomaffect5131 Ай бұрын

In Charleston they were making people inspectors with only 2 years experience. They had no clue what they were doing. Until 2000 after the golden handshake in 98 a twenty year hole was left. You could feel the brain drain. Then they outsourced the major structures to minimize risk. But only Spirit and Japan were able to produce good assemblies. Boeing had to buy out Global Aeronautical in Charleston. Global were all car people out of Detroit. Had no clue how to build aircraft. Contract engineers were told to falsify manufacturing plans to speed up production.

Goverment needs a reset too ! FAA failed the american people by allowing Boeing to to do its job, that is theft to the tax payer who pays FAA to do work.
