Closing Case- Building the Boeing Summary Boeing has created the aircraft of the future‚ the 787 jet. It is designed to fly long-haul point-to-point routes‚ equipped with 250 seats. 80% of the materials used are composite materials. This makes the plane 20% lighter then the traditional aircraft. This translates to savings in jet fuel consumption and cost. The design and creation of the jet was a major technological gamble. To cut costs to minimize financial risk‚ Boeing outsourced 70% of the

Article Review: Resilience is at the heart of current supply chain management thinking. Understanding the concept‚ and where to invest in resilience‚ can lead to supply chains that quickly respond to and recover from costly disruptions. When Boeing announced plans to assemble the 787 Dreamliner in late 2003‚ it introduced a new concept to the assembly of a commercial aircraft. Instead of building the plane from the ground up‚ subcontractors from around the globe would deliver completed subassemblies

work was no more important to me‚ I had to help everyone to safety but truly at the moment saving myself was the top priority in my mind. Due to the increased smoke‚ it was difficult to see. Being an airlines worker‚ I had identified the bird as a Boeing 747‚ a passenger plane‚ so I knew that there were lives gone due to the “crash”‚ but there were gallons and gallons of highly flammable jet fuel that was making the fire increase and weakening the structure of the building.

Q1. I started with picking up a relevant risk-free rate (Rfr) for the CAPM to calculate the cost of equity; I learned that 10 years T-Bond rate was more appropriate rate to be utilized for the sake of Rfr; the reasons cited in the reading “Best Practices in Estimating the Cost of Capital: Survey and Synthesis” made sense that the long-term bond yields more diligently replicates the default free HPR available on long term investments and hence more closely reflects the different investing decisions
