Boeing was doing fine in Seattle. With 737 legacy and 737 NG being reliable jets. Then the “ivy” MBAs decided to put their little finger prints all over the company. The term for it at the time was “Global supply chain” Wings from here, wheels from there. This is the point where “integrated manufacturing” so critical for industries like aviation was farmed out to hundreds of suppliers they have no safety and quality control over. The “ivy” MBAs who made these decisions have probably moved on “fixing” other companies.
