1.1 Dreamliner 787: Overly-Globalized and Overly-Outsourced?

                                                 Problems with 787 Launch



                                   Boeing tried to outsource 90% of frame, but …
                               failed to achieve such a high a level of global deployment
           “In retrospect, our 787 game plan may have been overly ambitious, incorporating too many
            first all at once – in the application of new technologies, in revolutionary design-and-build
            processes, and in increased global sourcing of engineering and manufacturing content” –
            Boeing CEO Jim McNerney



                   Break in Communication Ling between Chicago HQ and Seattle Operations …
                and, Within Operations, Outsourced Jobs Results in Loss of Critical Tribal Knowledge
           Loss of Tribal Knowledge. Aggressive global outsourcing results in significant reduction of
            key staff in Final Assembly and enormous loss of Tribal Knowledge. Tribal knowledge is key
            to producing airplanes. Acquired on job over long time, it is the key ingredient in the
            development of a new plane. It is the shared method of performing countless daily tasks
            efficiently and in coordinating with colleagues. In short, it is the grease that cuts frictions
            through the assembly process.
           Broken Communication/Management Link Chicago Headquarter and Seattle Operations.
            Headquarter moved to Chicago after 85 years in Seattle. Labor unions complain the move
            drove a wedge between executives in Seattle-are rank and file. But the benefit is being in
            international city, for sales, hiring and so forth.

1.2 Challenges and Delays: Increase Costs from USD10 bn to USD13.5 bn

                Challenges and Delays add an Additional USD4 – USD5 billion in Costs


            Delay in 2007 – shortage of bolts, flight control software.
            Delay in 2008 – 58 day strike
            Later – major problems with suppliers in South Carolina
            2010 - No availability of Rolls-Royce engines
            October of 2010 – another two week delay with horizontal stabilizers from Alenia
            November 9, 2010 – emergency landing on test flight due to a fire due to foreign
            debris in electrical cabinets. Electrical systems and power panel are built by
            Hamilton Sundstrand.

1.3 Carbon Composite Weight Reduction: Nice in Theory, Very Difficult in Practice

                                                 Carbon Composite Challenges



    According to Spirit, composite material lay-down rates are far below projections

             • The initial goal was 100 lbs/hr with a single-head machine
             • Production started at 8-9 lbs/hour
             • Efficiency gradually increased to 19 lbs/hour
             • The rate is expected to increase to 30 lbs per hour once a new dual-head
               machine on order arrives.
             • The rate of 100 lbs/hour now is a mid-term goal.

1.4 Hyper-Global Outsourcing /Partnerships: Nice in Theory, Possible in Practice?

                   Poor: Documentation, Oversight, Integration, Supplier Capabilities



      Very Poor or Lacking Documentation
               • Production records on deferred work were found to be incomplete or lost in transfer resulting in a
                 loss of configuration control


      Assembly work was found to be completed incorrectly only after assemblies reached the Final Assembly
      Lines. Root causes …
               • Oversight not adequate for the high level of outsourcing in assembly and integration
               • Qualification of low-wage, trained-on-the-job workers that had no previous aerospace experience
               • Significant amount of change engineering work
               • Inadequate supplier capabilities in design, e.g. Vought had no engineering department when
                  selected
               • Oversight not adequate for the high level of outsourcing in detailed design
               • Weight growth and subsequent weight saving changes
               • Late Definition
               • Boeing admitted responsibility for a shortfall in wiring shipments
               • Late specification indicated by supplier as root cause

1.5 Global Supply Chain: Process Riddled with Challenges and Gross Mistakes

                                                 Problems with 787 Launch


     Corroborating source believed to be Vought internal (Design News, 1st March 2008)
               • “Ship 2 went to Seattle 2 months late from last schedule change”
               • “Several 1000 parts short and no insulation, wrong hardware, no system components, full of FOD
                 and unworked discrepancies generated by Vought”
               • “Stringer wrinkles and delaminating going undetected by Vought quality”
               • “No inventory control oversight and accountability”
               • “Inability to attract competent technicians to the facility”
               • “Novice student inspectors, no competent management organization in-house”
               • “Ships 3, 4, 5, and 6 all have more defects than the fatigue model“


     Delivery delayed 5 weeks due to damage sustained in production at Global Aeronautica
               • Incorrectly installed fasteners, non-compliance by temp worker
               • Ad-hoc FAA inspection highlighted FOD issues and workers bringing in their own tools
               • Spirit S41 structure 100% complete
               • Center fuselage systems installation targeted to be 50% complete on delivery
               • Vought aft body section S47/S48 structure 98% complete, systems 87% complete, including THSA as
                 well as potable and waste water tanks

1.6 Summary of Challenges with Hyper-Globalization of Boeing 787

  3 Years of Delays … USD4 billion overrun … FAA stops flying in Jan 2013
     Challenges and problems in the 787 model resulted in 3 years of delays, approximately $4
     billion additional costs … FAA orders Boeing to stop flying the 787 in January, 2013
           4 major strikes in the past 2 decades caused loss of 200 days of production. Machinists in South
           Carolina, a right-to-work state, voted against IAM representation.
           FAA had concerns about the heat dissipation through the composite skins.
           Parts shortages: insufficient supply of frames, clips, brackets, and floor beams. Root causes are:
                    NDI (non-destructive inspection) / QA not supporting production rate demand.
                    Lack of NDI / QA personnel and equipment at T-2 and T-3 suppliers.
                    Deferral of NDI testing from T-2 and T-3 to Tier-1 partners to expedite pre-assembly
           Repeated NDFastener shortages, primarily affecting but not limited to Mitsubishi. Root causes:
                    Late changes to sleeved fastener design for lightening strike protection
                    Alcoa unable to meet demand in time
                    To tackle the parts shortages Boeing has now taken a consolidated approach to inventory
                    management across the supply chain.

2.1 Airbus 350XWB – Regionally-Focused Globalization Strategy

                                                  Cost Reduction + Risk Sharing Partners


                   Reducing costs by divesting from non-core to future requirements:
                        1) Those that make lower level composite component, or
                        2) Employ older “metal bending” fuselage assembly technologies

                   The risk-sharing partners expected to absorb $2.5 billion of the A350 development
                   costs

                   Critical aspect for risk-sharing partners to be successful: Ensure they have the financial
                   and technical capabilities, along with the engineering workforce available to design and
                   build composite structures.

                   Conditions for risk-sharing partners are that they need to pay for component
                   development costs, as well as be completive in terms of recurring costs (production) in
                   US$ terms.

                   Looking at 10 potential risk-sharing partners from Europe, Asia, the US and Latin
                   America.

                   MOUs are already in place for China, South Korea, and Russia.

3.8 China’s Unique Path in Building its Glocalized Aerospace Sector

                            China Strategy – Cost Competitive FAA/JAA Compliant A/C


          Airframe Production in China: Technology Acquisition through Offsets and Acquisitions (FACC)

          China’s labor costs are at least 4 times lower than those that prevail in Europe and North America …
          important in light of the labor-intensive nature of certain aspects of the airframe production process

          Western components are readily available to install on Chinese airframes – engines, avionics, hydraulics,
          fly-by-wire systems. Result is that Chinese aircraft that are endowed with proven Western and/or
          Russian systems, cheap Chinese airframes, and performance characteristics that match US FAA and EU
          JAA technical and safety standards.

          China starting production effort with state-of-the-art machine tools and fixtures, new materials handling
          processes, Western design software, and advanced engineering procedures. As such, they will
          technologically leapfrog the west.

          Chinese government has the investment capital and political determination required for massive and
          sustained industry support.

          China will be able to pump-prime its domestic aerospace industry by mandating the purchasing
          behavior of Chinese airlines. This is non-tariff trade barrier of immense significance at the global level.

  • 8. 1.1 Dreamliner 787: Overly-Globalized and Overly-Outsourced? Problems with 787 Launch Boeing tried to outsource 90% of frame, but … failed to achieve such a high a level of global deployment  “In retrospect, our 787 game plan may have been overly ambitious, incorporating too many first all at once – in the application of new technologies, in revolutionary design-and-build processes, and in increased global sourcing of engineering and manufacturing content” – Boeing CEO Jim McNerney Break in Communication Ling between Chicago HQ and Seattle Operations … and, Within Operations, Outsourced Jobs Results in Loss of Critical Tribal Knowledge  Loss of Tribal Knowledge. Aggressive global outsourcing results in significant reduction of key staff in Final Assembly and enormous loss of Tribal Knowledge. Tribal knowledge is key to producing airplanes. Acquired on job over long time, it is the key ingredient in the development of a new plane. It is the shared method of performing countless daily tasks efficiently and in coordinating with colleagues. In short, it is the grease that cuts frictions through the assembly process.  Broken Communication/Management Link Chicago Headquarter and Seattle Operations. Headquarter moved to Chicago after 85 years in Seattle. Labor unions complain the move drove a wedge between executives in Seattle-are rank and file. But the benefit is being in international city, for sales, hiring and so forth. Copyright © 2013 Exolus. All rights reserved.. Source: Reuters 7

Poor: Documentation, Oversight, Integration, Supplier Capabilities Very Poor or Lacking Documentation • Production records on deferred work were found to be incomplete or lost in transfer resulting in a loss of configuration control Assembly work was found to be completed incorrectly only after assemblies reached the Final Assembly Lines. Root causes … • Oversight not adequate for the high level of outsourcing in assembly and integration • Qualification of low-wage, trained-on-the-job workers that had no previous aerospace experience • Significant amount of change engineering work • Inadequate supplier capabilities in design, e.g. Vought had no engineering department when selected • Oversight not adequate for the high level of outsourcing in detailed design • Weight growth and subsequent weight saving changes • Late Definition • Boeing admitted responsibility for a shortfall in wiring shipments • Late specification indicated by supplier as root cause Copyright © 2013 Exolus.

  • 17. 1.6 Summary of Challenges with Hyper-Globalization of Boeing 787 3 Years of Delays … USD4 billion overrun … FAA stops flying in Jan 2013 Challenges and problems in the 787 model resulted in 3 years of delays, approximately $4 billion additional costs … FAA orders Boeing to stop flying the 787 in January, 2013 4 major strikes in the past 2 decades caused loss of 200 days of production. Machinists in South Carolina, a right-to-work state, voted against IAM representation. FAA had concerns about the heat dissipation through the composite skins. Parts shortages: insufficient supply of frames, clips, brackets, and floor beams. Root causes are: NDI (non-destructive inspection) / QA not supporting production rate demand. Lack of NDI / QA personnel and equipment at T-2 and T-3 suppliers. Deferral of NDI testing from T-2 and T-3 to Tier-1 partners to expedite pre-assembly Repeated NDFastener shortages, primarily affecting but not limited to Mitsubishi. Root causes: Late changes to sleeved fastener design for lightening strike protection Alcoa unable to meet demand in time To tackle the parts shortages Boeing has now taken a consolidated approach to inventory management across the supply chain. Rumored that GE GenX and Rolls-Royce Trend 1000 both missed SFC by a 2 – 4% I testing at FAL due to all of above Copyright © 2013 Exolus. All rights reserved..

  • 19. 2.1 Airbus 350XWB – Regionally-Focused Globalization Strategy Cost Reduction + Risk Sharing Partners Reducing costs by divesting from non-core to future requirements: 1) Those that make lower level composite component, or 2) Employ older “metal bending” fuselage assembly technologies The risk-sharing partners expected to absorb $2.5 billion of the A350 development costs Critical aspect for risk-sharing partners to be successful: Ensure they have the financial and technical capabilities, along with the engineering workforce available to design and build composite structures. Conditions for risk-sharing partners are that they need to pay for component development costs, as well as be completive in terms of recurring costs (production) in US$ terms. Looking at 10 potential risk-sharing partners from Europe, Asia, the US and Latin America. MOUs are already in place for China, South Korea, and Russia.

  • 43. 3.8 China’s Unique Path in Building its Glocalized Aerospace Sector China Strategy – Cost Competitive FAA/JAA Compliant A/C Airframe Production in China: Technology Acquisition through Offsets and Acquisitions (FACC) China’s labor costs are at least 4 times lower than those that prevail in Europe and North America … important in light of the labor-intensive nature of certain aspects of the airframe production process Western components are readily available to install on Chinese airframes – engines, avionics, hydraulics, fly-by-wire systems. Result is that Chinese aircraft that are endowed with proven Western and/or Russian systems, cheap Chinese airframes, and performance characteristics that match US FAA and EU JAA technical and safety standards. China starting production effort with state-of-the-art machine tools and fixtures, new materials handling processes, Western design software, and advanced engineering procedures. As such, they will technologically leapfrog the west. Chinese government has the investment capital and political determination required for massive and sustained industry support. China will be able to pump-prime its domestic aerospace industry by mandating the purchasing behavior of Chinese airlines. This is non-tariff trade barrier of immense significance at the global level. Copyright © 2013 Exolus. All rights reserved..

Editor's Notes

  1. Launch costs of 787 approximately USD13.4 billion (01), again development costs of USD6-7 billion for 777A380 launch cost of USD10 – 12 billion, which in some estimates could be under by USD3-5 billion.Given that 2 models are being built, the launch costs will be covered by subsidies and/or Boeing's risk-sharing partners.Multiple bidders against each other
  2. Boeing Actions• Second FAL encouraged by customers, but real bottleneck is supply chainBoeing had to ultimately buy Voigt and Alenia united States to take control of the significant operational problems in frames productionThey set up identical labs for engineers at the various companies.Cultural training, sensitivity, etc.Supplier InitiativesAlenia, Hawker de Havilland• Investing in second autoclave and further equipment to support production ramp-up.Kawasaki• Investing in new factory and production equipmentSpirit, Vought, Global Aeronautica• No investment in facilities or equipment, preparing for more gradual ramp-up• Spirit unilaterally shut down the production of CFRP fuselage barrels in January 2008. Production was slated to restart in 3Q 2008
  3. Break from the past:-Pre-installed systems/completed subassembliesFew people 800 to 1,200Leaner assembly lineLower inventoryHigher timeJapanese now account for 35% of work share, first time Japanese have taken a lead role in mass production of subcontractors supported and funded by the Japanese government.

  5. Ergo: Eventually, Western airlines will find it hard to ignore Chinese aircraft that are fully FAA/JAA compliant – especially if they sell at a fraction of the cost of Western alternatives.Recent estimates have the C919 launch investment pegged between USD6.5 and 7.7 billion, which could have the prototype built by 2015.C919 is intended to be direct competitor to Boeing’s 737 and Airbus’s A320 models
