THE CHALLENGE

Unique C-17 Skin PanelHeat Treat Capability

1st Quarter 2009

Unique C-17 Skin PanelHeat Treat Capability

3rd Quarter 2009

• Options and Opportunities?

• Impact to “Critical Path”!

Page 4: Boeing  C-17 Critical Path Tooling  ASQ(Oct_11 _R2)

Types of data and tools used to select the project, and why1A.a1A.a

• Current Heat Treat capability is closing down

• Potential Production Line stopper

• Team needed to Brainstorm solution

• Current process flow needed

• Time is of the essence – Critical Path Item

• Process Supplier Notification• May 5, 2009• Number 8 Drop Quench Furnace • As for timing of the plant closure, the number 8

furnace’s last day of production has been scheduled for September 4, 2009. Please contact us, for any special production scheduling of furnace #8 necessary to meet the requirements during this transitional period.

Reason why the project was selected1A.b1A.b

Impact on WhyHow

(Based on what data)

Reason

Schedule To ensure production would not be adversely impacted

Supplier notification Loss of critical heat treat capacity

Supplier shutdown notification instilled a sense of urgency for project

Schedule To prevent a disruption / gap in C17 production

Multiple site impact Disrupt C17 assembly in Long Beach, CA; Macon, GA; and St Louis, MO

Schedule Importance of precluding shutdown out-weighted other potential projects since project would become the determinant of productions critical path

Although, 14 parts were sourced to a different supplier, 4 remaining parts were deemed “unproducible”

The 4 parts had the potential of becoming the weakest link in our reliable supplier chain, with financial impact consequences.

Cost To prevent financial impact Delivery-based payments

Risk too high

Quality Opportunity to improve / modernize process

To develop and implement an upgraded and more modern process that would yield a higher quality product

Tooling upgrade needed

1) Relocation cost is prohibitive, 2) No SCAQMD permits are being issued for CY2009, 3) Number of SCAQMD permits for CY2010 uncertain, 4) Does not support the C-17 program long term strategy

No certainty the equipment relocation will maintain schedule and cost requirements. Unless execution is flawless this option will not support Production need date..
