A Veteran Engineer's Perspective on Outsourcing at Boeing

Douglas Dorsey, a seasoned engineer with over three decades of experience at Boeing, shares his firsthand insights into the challenges posed by outsourcing within the aerospace giant. Dorsey’s tenure at Boeing began in the early 1980s, but he observed significant changes starting in the late 1990s, coinciding with a major merger.

As the company shifted its focus towards outsourcing various components and services, Dorsey noticed a decline in quality and an increase in production delays. He highlights that the decision to outsource was driven by cost-cutting measures, but it often came at the expense of craftsmanship and reliability.

Dorsey recalls instances where critical parts were produced overseas, leading to complications that could have been avoided with in-house manufacturing. He emphasizes that while outsourcing may provide short-term financial benefits, the long-term implications on product quality and workforce morale can be detrimental.

His experiences serve as a cautionary tale about the complexities and consequences of outsourcing in the aerospace industry.
