Recent investigations and reports have unveiled a series of quality control and management issues at Boeing, particularly with its Boeing MAX and 737 models, leading to significant scrutiny over its manufacturing processes and leadership decisions. A New York Times investigation highlighted 'shortcuts everywhere' in Boeing's operations, threatening the quality of its aircraft and taking advantage of the aviation safety's layered approach. This revelation aligns with criticisms regarding Boeing's pursuit of shareholder value, suggesting a preference for detrimental practices. Moreover, the company's 737 factory has been under the spotlight for its complex quality-control process, which faces numerous challenges, including missed procedures and confusion, as detailed in factory logs. These issues have culminated in incidents such as a United Airlines flight being diverted due to a cracked windshield on a Boeing 787, and Boeing announcing major manufacturing issues with a 777 model. Amidst these challenges, Boeing has undergone a leadership shake-up, indicating a potential shift towards addressing its 'broken culture' and management practices.

There are good ways and bad ways to deliver shareholder value, and Boeing chose all the bad ones, @asymmetricinfo writes. https://t.co/7XwpGNeMMr
A recent New York Times investigation reveals “shortcuts everywhere” at Boeing threatening quality. I put the new findings the context of aviation safety which has many layers — hard to avoid concluding Boeing took advantage of that. That’s a bad gamble. https://t.co/6w48dGa6Yx https://t.co/wDXIxfKnZf
