• Mechanics at a Boeing supplier used liquid soap as a lubricant to fit a 737 Max door seal, per NYT.
• The instance was mentioned in a document discussing FAA audits of Boeing and its supplier, per NYT.
• This particular supplier, Spirit AeroSystems, is in charge of building the 737 Max's fuselage.

En soi, un peu de savon pour insérer un joint...

Plus préoccupant :

These findings were part of a six-week audit documented in a set of FAA presentation slides upon which The Times based its report.

The slides said that Boeing had failed 33 of 89 product audits related to 737 Max production, while Spirit failed seven of 13 audits, per The Times.

Boeing est un bon cas d'école d'entreprise qui a oublié sa raison d'être...

Bon article récent : https://edition.cnn.com/2024/03/14/business/boeing-ceo-dave-calhoun/index.html

And the plane maker’s problems didn’t start there: The 1997 merger with McDonnell Douglas is widely cited as Boeing’s poisoned chalice. It was after the merger that the bean-counter executives began taking over, gutting the joint, and putting accountants into roles once held by engineers. Maximizing profit took precedence over quality. In the short term, margins improved. But in the long term, Boeing lost the plot.

Critics of the 737 Max crashes in 2018 and 2019 weren’t just a problem of flawed design but also deeply flawed management that eroded Boeing’s corporate culture.

Mais ne pas oublier que les avions civils ne sont pas leur principale activité.

Pas leur seule activité. Mais bien leur principale ? Le militaire serait supérieur au civil ?

Justement, y'a pas aussi des problèmes de fiabilité ou de production avec le F35 ?

Avec leur stop & go sur la production des avions commerciaux, ça dépend :

• 2021 : Defense, Space and Security segment is the largest revenue source : https://www.investopedia.com/articles/markets/032715/how-boeing-makes-its-money.asp
• 2024: Boeing's Commercial Airplanes segment will make 48% of $90 Bil in total revenues (du prévu, donc avec eux...) : https://www.trefis.com/data/compani...JhR6K/Boeing-Revenues-How-Does-BA-Make-Money-

Oui, mais le F35 vient de chez Lockheed

Boeing a des soucis dans sa division Defence & Space qui coûtent chers comme les nouveaux Air Force One ou la capsule Starliner : https://www.reuters.com/business/ae...nother-year-billion-dollar-losses-2023-10-27/

Excluding last year, losses on Boeing's defense programs in 2023 exceed those from all years since 2014, according to a Reuters review of Boeing’s regulatory filings.
Boeing is unique among its defense contractor peers, as companies like Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics and RTX are seeing higher revenues due to demand from the war in Ukraine.
Unlike those companies, however, Boeing is locked into handful of contracts that force the planemaker to take a loss when technology development goes over budget.
