The 787 Dreamliner is expected to revitalise Boeing Visionary Design Unparalleled Passenger Experience Media Hype Environmentally Progressive Exceptional Value for Airlines
The delivery of the 787 has been plagued with issues First 787 orders Third delay First order cancellation Final delay to date First successful test flight First delays Further delays due to supplier issues
We have identified two sets of recommendations Short-term supply chain solutions Key Recommendations Ensuring long-term competitive advantage
These recommendations will reduce supply chain problems when the 787 is in production in the short term 1 2 Injecting Expertise Extend GoldCare
Pioneering an outsourcing strategy to produce the 787 Boeing – in-house functions 30% 70% Partner – outsourced functions
Boeing faces challenges in its own supply chain Boeing supply chain Issues Product does not meet promised specifications Risks Customers may cancel further orders Issues Discontent labor force due to low job security RisksFurther strikes
The outsourced supply chain also faces numerous challenges Research & Development Parts Production Part Assembly Partner supply chain • Issues • Limited R&D and production expertise • Insufficient regulatory knowledge • Risks • Manufactured parts do not meet regulatory or Boeing specifications • Incomplete or unsafe parts manufactured
Title slide for RECO 1 HERE? Injecting Expertise
This recommendation identifies the underperforming suppliers who are most likely to threaten the 787 production schedule
These recommendations alleviate the problems plaguing the supply chain in a timely manner Parts Production and assembly Key issues and risks Inadequate expertise Limited regulatory experience Risk of parts not meeting specifications Risk of Low quality products Sharing of expertise ensures suppliers are not at a disadvantage during production Ready access to Boeing experts will ensure issues are prevented or quickly resolved Presence of Boeing personnel will prevent low quality or non-compliant goods from being shipped
This recommendation makes good financial sense $ Cost savings arising from preventing a one-month delay $165 million Upfront investment required $50 million Breakeven point: 1 month Ongoing yearly costs $18 million p/a
This recommendation extends the GoldCare program to allow airlines to outsource plane maintenance to Boeing Boeing leads and integrates a global team of partners Performs all maintenance and parts support, as well as track airplane conditions and configurations Boeing absorbs the risk and complexity of airplane maintenance Airlines pay an agreedupon per-flight-hour price
The new incentive provides airlines the opportunity toreduce non-core overhead costs Focus on core competencies Simplifies aircraft ownership Reliable maintenance and monitoring
This initiative will convince customers that Boeing will deliver a quality product without further delays Confidence in planes Aligns Boeings long term interests • Breakdown and maintenance • costs transferred to Boeing • Instills belief that Boeing • guarantees performance • Provides customers with • security that Boeing is • willing to sustain • involvement in plane • performance even after sale. Emphasize quality to customers
This recommendation makes good financial sense Cost of providing discount is 141.2m per 30 planes Breakeven points 6/3 cancellations for 100/50% discounts
We have identified two sets of recommendations Short-term supply chain solutions Key Recommendations Ensuring long-term competitive advantage
From the 787 experience, Boeing has developed core competencies which can be leveraged to gain competitive cost advantages CORE COMPETENCIES: Global Supply Chain 1 • Economies of scale • Reduced risk of R&D investment • Collaborative innovation • Lean enterprise Technical, design and assembly expertise 2 • Composite materials innovation • Designing fuel efficient aircrafts • Rapid 3 day ‘snap’ assembly process
The 787 process caused much delay and sparked concern regarding the choice of supply partners
Problems were caused by insufficient criteria for partner selection LESSONS LEARNT: Reasons for the delay • Lack of communication and monitoring • Overestimation of supplier’s capacity • Suppliers were in need of managerial and regulatory expertise • Incentives were insufficient to ensure timely delivery Reasons for leak of IP to potential competitors • Suppliers have long term objectives to enter the production market • IP rights traded to gain shared R&D investments to decrease overall costs
Two recommendations to minimize delays and mitigate the risk of aiding potential competitors Effective Partner Selection Selective Outsourcing
Boeing needs to reassess its partner selection criteria and work closely with partners to prevent future delays • Choose partners with: • A high level of managerial expertise • Regulatory insight • Adequately resourced to fund R&D • A high level of logistics experience • Avoid partners who are: • Short term goal oriented • Unskilled with production and delivery • Eager to extract IP from collaboration
Two recommendations to minimize delays and mitigate the risk of aiding potential competitors Effective Partner Selection Selective Outsourcing
Boeing needs to strategically decide what can be outsourced to maintain their competitive design and IP advantage
Boeing will be relatively better placed in the market than competitors once it capitalizes on supply chain efficiencies Low Cost Efficient integrated network IP risk mitigation + = COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE Production Innovation
Boeing will be relatively better placed in the market than Airbus once it capitalizes on supply chain efficiencies Boeing Partners absorbs non-recurring costs and risks of R&D Outsourced the entire wing design and manufacturing to external suppliers (75%) Long unparalleled dominance in Japanese market & strong presence in China Airbus Workshare arrangements Increased outsourcing but kept core technologies in house (50%) Relative newcomer to Japan & China Relative advantages are sufficient given the nature of the market
Aviation First is a joint industry research partnership with airlines to give Boeing first access to upcoming industry changes Extension of research and development focusing on gauging industry demand Partnership with core customers who are the airlines Shared research to identify future needs and demand in industry Boeing develop aircraft and services catering to needs

What is GoldCare? A system of tools Airplane Health Management Monitors the health of an airplane in flight and relays that information to airline personnel on the ground Maintenance Performance Toolbox Serves as a single location for operator maintenance and repair data. Electronic Flight Bag Digitally stores all documentation and forms, including paper log books that pilots typically carry onto airplanes Maintenance & Engineering Management Allows dynamic planning and re-planning of maintenance tasks to optimize efficiency and keep airplanes in the air • Uses existing network of employees as well as partnerships with other support providing functions. • Boeings attempt to capitalize on the attractive $60 billion commercial aviation service industry
Enhance GoldCare: Focus on core competencies Source: Bickers. C., “Good as GoldCare”
Enhance GoldCare: Simplifies aircraft ownership Source: “GoldCare Enhances 787 Lifecycle Value”, http://www.boeingcapital.com/p2p/archive/09.2006/r1v5y2006_11.htm Traditional costs of maintenance can be unpredictable, though the GoldCare program these costs can be made predictable for airlines. Thus the costs involved with ownership of planes are reduced.
