Boeing management is in the business of selling contracts. They are not in the business of making airplanes. That is the problem. They relocated headquarters from Seattle to Chicago and now DC so that they can focus on their priority, contracts. They dumped Boeing's original management style and grafted on the management style of a company that was forced to merge with Boeing. They diversified supply chain as a form of kickbacks to local governments/companies that bought their 'contracts'. They enshiftified every area of the company, all with the priority/goal of selling their core product, 'contracts', and filling their 'book'. We are plenty capable of designing Engineering systems, PLMs to manage EBOMs, MRP/ERP systems to manage MBOMs, etc to handle the complexities of building aircraft. What we can't help is the human desire to prioritize enshitfication if it means a bigger paycheck. Companies no longer exist to create a product, and the product is becoming secondary and tertiary in management's priorities, with management expecting someone else to take care of the 'small details' of why the company exists in the first place.
