BOEING: Back to Basics -- Back to what works ???

Back in the late 90s I read an article -- and I desperately wish I could remember the source -- titled something like "How Quality Killed McDonnell Douglas".

It basically detailed how the late 80s/early 90s TQM rage absolutely gutted McD's ability to lead and decisionmake.

Apparently it's this crew that has dragged Boeing down the same road post-merger.

Oh Yes! TQM, Now replaced with a more assinine Six Sigma. Which is killing creativity, common sense, and having a pair at your company or a company near you very soon.

Blasphemy! Everyone knows that Lean Six Sigma is the perfection of leadership tools!

All your processes are belong to us...:icon_tong

Leadership by TLA is one of the big reasons I went ahead and got out.

Who would like to buy my BOEING stock ... ???

I weep ... just weep ... for the future of BOEING, until & unless they can UNLOAD the cretins that busted Douglas and were acquired in the 'buyout' ... and I weep ... just weep ... for my BOEING stock ... especially when one of their major programs is led by a guy named 'Mohammad' ... or 'MO', if you prefer ...

Obla-de-obla-dah-la-la-la-la-life goes on ....

They seem to be doing a nice job with P-8's, though. That's the only Boeing product that really matters. :)
