This isn't a systematic problem at Boeing. This is standard corporate operating procedure applied to company that had nonstandard qualities.
The previous CEO [1], who had done a tour corporate America positions, joined the company "with a focus on cost cutting" and made the decision to produce the 737 Max.
The standard approach has become to gut, deskill, out-source the operations and return the resulting profits. The problem is that this approach can't be maintained for long by company producing high-tech, high-quality, safety-critical merchandise.
