Boeing CEO Jim McNerney has admitted that production of its new 787 Dreamliner jet has been incompletely successful and would expect a revaluation for future programs in the same project.

Boeing CEO in a memo circulated to employees mentioned that “The global-partnership model of the 787 remains a fundamentally sound strategy,” . “But we may have gone a little too far, too fast in a couple of areas. I expect we’ll modify our approach somewhat on future programs – possibly drawing the lines in different places with regard to what we ask our partners to do.”

“The condition of the assemblies built by our structural partners is improving noticeably with each successive unit,” said McNerney in the memo. “And that is vitally important for getting us back to where we are doing only the work we originally planned to do in our own factory.”
