Last year was a year of stability, and this year is a year of incredible growth
Stable production of 737 models is critical for the corporation's financial recovery and debt repayment. The increase in orders forces the company to attract new engineers and mechanics to maintain high work intensity without compromising quality.
Change in corporate strategy
Executive Director Kelly Ortberg is implementing new management principles aimed at transforming Boeing's internal culture. The company urges suppliers to adhere to similar standards to synchronize the entire production chain. Such measures are intended to guarantee supply reliability amid an ambitious transition to record volumes of civil aviation production.
