In a notable move signaling Boeing’s commitment to transparency and safety, the executive overseeing the company’s 787 program praised an employee for their integrity in reporting an issue.
According to an internal memo obtained by Business insider, the commendation came after a worker observed an “irregularity” during a required test of the wing-to-body join and promptly notified management.
Scott Stocker, vice president and general manager of the Boeing 787 program and the South Carolina site leader, expressed gratitude to the employee for their vigilance. He emphasized the importance of every team member speaking up when they notice something amiss, highlighting the critical role of accountability within the organization.
Upon investigation, it was discovered that several employees had neglected to conduct required tests, despite falsely recording the work as completed. Boeing assured that its engineers determined the misconduct did not pose an immediate safety risk to flight operations. However, the company is taking swift and serious corrective action with the individuals involved.
While no planes have been grounded as a result of the lapse, performing tests out of order will inevitably affect the pace of deliveries. Despite this setback, Boeing assured that the issue wouldn’t compromise the safety of the in-service fleet.
Stocker’s commendation of the employee underscores Boeing’s acknowledgment of the importance of ethical conduct and adherence to protocols. At a time when the company is facing heightened scrutiny due to previous quality assurance lapses, this demonstration of accountability serves as a reminder of Boeing’s ongoing efforts to prioritize safety and integrity.
