Excellent brief article that puts a focus on the challenges of managing outsourced manufacturing for the new Boeing 787. As Airbus is beginning to consider shifting production to outsourced partners Boeing is living lessons learned that is just might be harder to manage things they don't do then what they control and do / manufacturer.
We don't think this means Boeing will not outsource but will likely utilize new tools, approaches, measurement to make sure commitments can be made !

Business Week June 2007 Article on Mfgr Stats May Have Distorted US Competitiveness

As Business Week notes: “It was easy to downplay the huge trade deficit as long as it seemed as though domestic growth was strong. But if the import boom is actually creating only a facade of growth, that's a different story. This lends more credence to corporate leaders such as CEO John Chambers of Cisco Systems who have publicly worried about U.S. competitiveness--and who, perhaps coincidentally, have been the ones leading the charge offshore.”
Now we are finally getting the proper statistics that show the NEED to use techniques such as postponment to control the supply chain, intellectual property and customer service
