A few years back, Boeing fired several thousand quality control people as a cost savings measure. It shows.
Watch them commit to using AI to control quality. Then they will spend billions on systems that don’t work any better.
Wanna bet?
“A few years back, Boeing fired several thousand quality control people as a cost savings measure. It shows.”
I remember when that happened. I believe that it occurred shortly after they merged with McDonnell Douglas. The merger was the kiss of death for Boeing.

Having QC people control quality is not a sound solution. Ultimately switching to QA system isn’t any better because the burden is on manufacturing people vs QC people. Quality needs to be designed, up front to thorough planning! We have to get away from reactive actions(usually too late) to even preventive and predictive solutions. If there’s a paradigm shift, “you just can’t spend enough time planning”, up front!
