Boeing centralises control of engineering, safety practices
Boeing CE Dennis Muilenburg will gain greater control over the aerospace giant’s engineering, safety and certification practices as part of a restructuring following 2 deadly crashes of its 737 MAX airliners. Under changes recommended by the company’s board, which Muilenburg leads as chairman, top engineers throughout Boeing’s sprawling commercial and defence units will report directly to the company’s chief engineer rather than division chiefs. The chief engineer reports to Muilenburg. The changes Boeing laid out Wednesday are the result of a review by a group of Boeing board members following the crashes. While the review didn’t focus on the accidents specifically, it uncovered no signs of undue pressure or other lapses that compromised the safety of the 737 MAX or other aircraft. <br/>
