Case: The Boeing 787 Dreamliner project began to develop in 2003 establishing as a main goal to innovate the concept of aircraft industry. This is the company’s most fuel-efficient airliner‚ being20% more fuel efficient that the 767‚ and first major airliner to use composite materials as the primary material in the construction of its airframe. An international team of top aerospace companies builds the airplane‚ led by Boeing at its Everett‚ Wash.‚ facility near Seattle and in North Charleston

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

problems and solutions Since 1999‚ Boeing started to losing sales heavily to its competitor which is Airbus based on French because Airbus’s airplanes are more innovative and cheaper than Boeing’s. Because of it‚ the number of Boeing’s clients and airplane’s orders are being decreased. In order to outrun Airbus and dominate again on its market‚ Boeing had to invent a new airplane which will save Boeing from the difficult situation and help it attract more customers. Boeing also faced many complicated problems

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 to Boeing’s
