*787 Dreamliner teaches Boeing costly lesson on outsourcing*
Response from Barbara Nolan

'What goes around comes around'
When will we learn that cost is by no means the only factor to take into direct consideration. The financials continue to drive us beyond reasoning...the boeing 787 Dreamliner is such a stark example of what is wrong with chasing 'the most for less' I quote Boeings dream was to save money!
Reading the article it is quite frightening to think the repercussions were not thought through with what appears to be a real lack of planning and foresight.
Quote “Boeing executives now admit that the company's aggressive outsourcing put it in partnership with suppliers that weren't up to the job. They say Boeing didn't recognize that sending so much work abroad would demand more intensive management from the home plant, not less.”
Cultural differences ethics and business practices play a major role, you have to understand the way a culture think. Boeing assumed working practices mirror their own...Oh dear; what a very expensive assumption.
If we as a company managed our business with such careless forethought we would not be here today.
Got to go...get back to doing the very best job I can for our clients and Synchro.
