This is a bold faced lie.
Boeing approves the supplier, they do not find them.
I.e. Boeing does not force Safran to use their French paint distributor, they got that contract on their own. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
I do agree. More info here:

For the last couple years there’s been a worldwide shortage of aircraft grade titanium. It’s not because it’s cheaper, it’s that they are buying it up from anyone who can sell it to them, be that in China, Russia, or wherever. The process of making it is extremely energy intensive, equipment intensive, and it’s long and complicated. Where there’s incentive to lie on the certs and say it’s higher grade than it is, some will fall to that temptation. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
You obviously don't know how simple it is to falsify QC documentation.
In pharmaceuticals, data integrity has been a key issue in industry forever. The challenge, it seems, is the lack of integrity on the human side. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
There’s surprisingly little literature about this, and I only know it because Honeywell asked me if I could do it and sent me a spec + sample parts. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Disappointing to see that it was just the authenticity documentation that was counterfeit and the titanium used was likely of lower quality than it was sold as.
It would have been much more interesting if someone had discovered a way to actually counterfeit a chemical element. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |

That’s wild, all of the jokes from then were about Ur because it wasn’t posted with translation. This post feels like the beginning of an alternate timeline where we joked about Ur being a Karen instead of Ea-Nasir being a shitty copper salesman. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
For sure. We have a "Supplier Quality Hotline".
If anyone is sus about components or materials coming in and feel like it's slipping by, they can anonymously call the hotline and leave a message.
There will be a vetting of whatever is flagged within 24 hours. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Yeah turns out letting MBAs run the world was a bad idea.
Maybe we should, y'know, let experts with experience in the field run companies in those industries? If those experts start to believe that a merger or acquisition or whatever is necessary for the company, then they can consult with their business department, which would be staffed with MBAs.
Business should be a department, not the entire company. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |

I'm assuming it was an aluminium alloy or something like that? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
That definitely makes sense to me. They got to math it all out, and then make sure it done *exactly* how they planned it because that's the only way they *know* it will (should) work. You can't really just go out and retighten a screw on your super expensive space-thingy that's orbiting Jupiter if something goes wrong.

It's an interesting video, but Ryan's shifting the definition to a purely economic one. The whole reason to fear the IMC was that it signaled a different way of functioning in peace time. Here's Eisenhower's words:
>This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence-economic, **political, even spiritual**-is felt in every city, every state house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society. (emphasis added) | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
I guess I should say that they do NOT cheap out on safety equipment. They spend ungodly amounts of money on that stuff. Like a couple refueling outages ago they spent like $300k on overnighting a new pump motor down because they had an issue with the previous new one they installed.
It’s honestly funny seeing what crazy money they’ll spend on one thing, then cheap out on another. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
So you’re running on Source Inspections? Do you do any verification that the source inspections are valid? Does your industry not require strict adherence to quality like aerospace and defense? Seems wild not doing FAIs | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
qc is prob different cost center... lmfao | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
It’s not about just checking a box. There is an entire process and team devoted to doing what are called receiving inspections when they receive new material. It will involve a testing plan with set criteria to test parts. In one of those cases, the results are sent from the machine performing the test directly into the quality management system. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |

There's responsibility from both sides, but China's mantra is cheat and get whatever you can now, no matter if you lose a customer instead of building trust and making way more in the long term.

I have no personal experience with Airbus manufacturing, but Boeing is the largest employer in my area. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
I hear you - but companies like Boeing should be so embedded in the manufacturing process that production people are on the line checking everything. A company of that size spending such a large amount of money probably is one of a few customers and should be so up the factory’s butt - even owning most of it, should be in their operational procedure. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
What's their plan here? Go "heehee, we caught you a technicality, get fucked?" The easy thing is to argue that the sample doesn't match the finished product, but there's no way you get repeat business after pulling a stunt like that.

It's the Uniform Commercial Code. Supplying non-conforming goods to fulfill an order is perfectly legal, and the receiving merchant has the right to accept or reject the fulfilled order, or as they stated, accept the confirming goods and reject the non-conforming portion of the order.
There are ways to contract around this, but because that's the default rules, it makes it more difficult to sue for this behavior. Foreign suppliers may be operating with laws that are more strict about specific performance.
Regardless, it just seems dumb to me to operate in this way. Just because you're doing something that's technically legal, that doesn't mean you're making your customers happy. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Spirit Aerosystems is a subcontractor that used to be completely owned by Boeing then was spun off as a separate entity to reduce costs. It's their own fault. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
They weren't a subcontractor, they were just a division of Boeing, specifically their Wichita plant. Boeing decided they didn't want to manufacture aircraft parts anymore, they wanted to focus on assembling aircraft from parts and selling them, so they spun Spirit off into it's own company *twenty* years ago. There's been plenty of time for Spirit to chart their own course for good or ill. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
The crazy thing is…. Managers that know nothing about the industry they are currently working in are surprisingly common. My spouse runs into this every 2-3 years in her workplace.

Yeah, the civil war is functionally over. If the Houthis hadnt started this current red sea issue, Saudi and Iran would have been working through the peace deal to recognize North and South Yemen as restored independent countries.
The "Yemen government" was dissolved and replaced by a council of the different factions ruling the south, and the most powerful of them is the UAE backed independence faction. There is very little chance of a united Yemen being restored at this point. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
