Boeing employs more than 153,000 people in some 67 countries
WHAT THEY DO TODAY
Design, assemble and support commercial jetliners Boeing 7-series family of airplanes lead the industry Commercial aviation services (CAS) offers broad range of services to passenger and freight carriers
Design, assemble and support defense systems
Worlds largest designer and manufacturer of military transports, tankers, fighters and helicopters Support systems provides services to government customers worldwide
Design and assemble satellites and launch vehicles
Worlds largest provider of commercial and military satellites; largest NASA contractor Integrate large-scale systems, develop networking technology and network-centric solutions

requirements Develop advanced systems and technology to meet future customer needs
LOCATION OF THE PLANT
EVERETT 30 min drive from SEATTLE Worlds largest building by volume meters Aircraft production depends upon Large labor pool Lots of land Huge amount of aluminum. To convert aluminum to required strength by smelting requires lots of electricity that is why this location excelled because of dam on the columbia river which generated electricity for the whole state. 13.3 million cubic
PRODUCT
RANGE OF BOEING

DEMAND FORECASTING
World Value: $4,060 billion Share of fleet
World Delivery units 2011 to 2030 33,500
Larger Twin aisle Single aisle Regional jets
LAYOUT OF THE PLANT
They follow product layout as:-
They mainly assembles al the parts
The main difference is that instead of the aircraft being assembled in one spot they are now on a moving
assembly line
it effects in accelerating the production
It reduces the order backlog and waiting time for customers It reduces production costs Line moves continuously at a rate of 2 inches per minute
PRODUCTION PROCESS
First the fuselage arrives at the plant
It is then fitted with wiring looms, pneumatics
air-conditioning ducting and insulation pipes
Then it is lifted onto the moving assembly line Then the tailfin is lifted into place by an overhead crane and attached on the fuselage
Floor panels and galleys are then installed
Cont
Functional testing begins in a test tunnel called the high blow The aircraft is pressurized to create a cabin differential pressure equivalent to an altitude of 93,000 feet. The aircraft is jacked up to fix the landing gear retraction & extension systems The cabin interior is completed then : seats, lavatories, luggage bins, ceiling panels, carpets etc. Finally the engines are mounted
EVER WONDERED. HOW A AIRCRAFT IS MANUFACTURED
HAVE A LOOK AT THIS..
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
The present build time is now just 11 days (5,500 airplane unit hours of work) with a future target of 6
days (4,000 airplane unit hours of work) for a aircraft.
Any components are not built by Boeing but are outsourced to others manufacturers. It is for cost savings in production for Specialist development
As an incentive for the country to buy other Boeing
products

CRIB MASTER
It is a system created specifically for managing
inventory
It uses bar coding
It has a collection of manned tool cribs to monitor tool inventory and usage It tracks consumption, issue purchase orders and provide numerous reports at the touch of a button It being able to electronically track and have instant response, keep track of whos got what tool, where it is Youve got access to all that information in a matter of seconds
Each tool is managed and logged, if there are missing items or items checked out for an extended period, the tool tracking software reports what is missing, for how long, and who is accountable.
CAPACITY
It plans to boost its manufacturing capacity over the next three years
It will increase its production by 40 percent through 2014 to keep up with burgeoning demand
for its aircrafts
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE OF BOEING
Economy of scope Effective outsourcing Effect of conglomerates
