That is a hideously high and very alarming number, and if our quality system on 737 was healthy, it would have stopped the line and driven the issue back to supplier after the first few instances.
If this (anonymous) quote is true, it may mean Boeing thinks production quality can be achieved via Quality Control alone. Yet nothing could be further from the truth.
- rcbdev 3y agoThis is the same thing as developing software against a huge test suite and not thinking about code quality / coupling / sane architecture anymore. Incidentally, this is lived reality for developers on the DB team at Oracle.
