Boeing's Plan To Build Better 737 MAX Planes

Elizabeth Lund, the senior vice president of quality of Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA), shared the company’s plans to make its Boeing 737 MAX assembly line safer and more focused on quality. The information was shared at a media briefing at one of the company’s sites. Interestingly - and unfortunately - Lund’s statement on June 25th included statements that resulted in the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) sanctioning Boeing for disclosing non-public information. In this video, let’s take a deep dive into Boeing’s plan, the information shared, and how it found itself in more hot water with the NTSB as a result!

The muddy water is getting even more muddy now 😂

Step one: make sure there's no leftover bolts lying on the floor.

All Lund's dog & pony show did was "pass the buck" and "wash hands". The door plug incident was a symptom of larger issues. Focusing on a symptom does not fix the problem(s). [History note of a reason of how the plane maker ended up here: Boeing offered their most experienced people early retirement to reduce overhead. Metaphorically, Boeing cut-off an arm to lose 15 pounds.]

I used to go through the parts that came in make sure they were in good shape and every step of the way we would quality control anything built. I’ve found so many mistakes and pushback from supervisor it was a disaster how they do not want to help make a perfect, assembly.

What about the ones that they have already built. Are they substandard ?

[laytenfontana]

The one issue that I have with this is, what happens if another accident happens with the 737 max. They need to go back to the drawing board and make some changes to the max designs

So it’s still trying to blame it on a single low ranking employee…

until they fire the entire mahogany row, claw back bonuses and clean house top to bottom nothing will change. The max has cost BA over 20 Bn not to mention damage to the brand and reputation. Meanwhile Calhoun gets a golden parachute worth 40 million. Looks like Ms Lund is already off to a great start. PS the fines they pay are tax write offs.

So it's Spirit's fault and they only have a paperwork problem? These executives are incompetent in business and legal issues imperative to their survival.

[IhsanIbrahim]

So they admit they did not care the quality at all before? 😂

The biggest problems with Boeing are MBA's!!! That is the issue.

A Freedom of Information request to the NTSB would have revealed the same information as released by Boeing.
