BCA Commercial Airplane Programs use different models to forecast quality assurance (QA) staffing and measure performance. One goal of Boeing is to drive stability throughout the production system with focus on quality as a key enabler to the overall success of the Boeing Production System. This student team will work to identify opportunities for improvement in both forecasting and allocation of Quality resources, daily work assignments, accountability metrics, and ensure alignment to the overall Boeing Production System. The team will work cross-functionally with QA, IE, Engineering, and Manufacturing Operations to conduct research and create recommendations.
