Boeing tells Bloomberg employees violated company policy by skipping test
Boeing said it learned that several employees have been violating company policies by not performing a required test but recording the work as having been completed, the company said in an emailed statement to Bloomberg, citing Scott Stocker, 787 vice president and Boeing South Carolina site leader. "Fortunately, our engineering team has assessed that this misconduct did not create an immediate safety of flight issue. But it will impact our customers and factory teammates, because the test now needs to be conducted out of sequence on airplanes in the build process," Boeing is quoted as having said. Boeing said it has zero tolerance for not following processes designed to ensure quality and safety and is taking "swift and serious corrective action with multiple teammates," adding that the company learned of the issue after an employee saw something in a factory that he believed was not being done right, and spoke up about it.
