Spirit AeroSystems was Boeing- Wichita all not that long ago.

I was an Everett receiving inspector for rail car & sea land containers back in the '80's.
The 747 section 41 (most forward aircraft section) was one of my misadventures. The
upper lobe & lower half were received "tucked in" in one rail car.
On removal by the ceiling crane, the lower half had to exit the rail car, turned up- side
down. All sorts of shit fell out.. drill shavings, air power tools, badges.. everything but money.
Go figure expectations.. it was f***ing Wichita!
Apparently nothing has changed for the better in that Wichita manufacturing environment.

I'm thinking outsourcing is overdone as a culprit of Boeing's woes. Airplane quality is a shared culture.
But a failure of one supplier can upset "just- in- time" deliveries. "Just in Time" intent was to save on inventory costs.
