Introduction My current role is with a company who supply the aerospace industry with components for aero structures, aero engines and other primary functions, our customer base is for both civil and defence applications. We as a group company have production facilities both in the United Kingdom and India and our supply is worldwide. Because of the nature of our business all aspects of customs regulations and procedures are in one way or another applicable and can have a bearing on the end cost of a product and the likely outcome of supply. Import duties can have an adverse effect on the end cost to the customer so these need to be taken in to account when presenting any quotes or tenders for work. The country of origin can be an issue with some of our customers as on occasion there has been expressed a reticence to trade with Indian produced products. The WTO and WCO guidelines and agreements on Rules of Origin allow us to move forward with contracts by dual production, this enables the company to produce products to a certain state of completion in India, then import to the UK branch and finish production giving the component a UK origin. Knowledge of the rules of origin agreed by the WTO alongside any Free Trade or Regional Trade agreements is necessary to evaluate the required work or percentage increase in value, or significant change in appearance to change the commodity code to enable this to be possible. Where the WTO gives the guidelines for world trade for
I currently work for an aerospace company as a business unit manager. My daily tasks consist of scheduling the business to meet customer deliveries, ensuring production is on target, and measuring the performance of the business through production, quality and financial metrics. My organization consists of six salaried supervisors and one hundred fifty-two hourly associates.
As Russell Menere, I recommend the management of Boeing Australia Limited to follow the footsteps of Boeing Seattle to adopt and implement cost effective e-Procurement system, which can be interfaced with the legacy information system as we have IT infrastructure in place that is our core strength.
The Aeronautics Branch of the Department of Commerce is the foundation of the United States Federal Government regulation in civil aviation. Born out of necessity to nurture the growth and expansion of aviation, it was believed that without federal regulation, this green industry would falter.
Open dialogue and communication is very important between the supplier and buyer. Late, missing or inaccurate documents can cause delays of customs clearance and, ultimately, delivery to destination. E-mail and the Internet, and phone calls, can enhance supply-chain efficiency.
Read the profile of Boeing and the company’s 787 Dreamliner found in your textbook. This profile serves as an excellent example of how a company used an infrastructure change to improve its supply chain. In making this improvement, which of the five ways of implementing an infrastructure change, identified in section 10.6 of your text, did Boeing employ? Do a little research on your own to identify a company that has used the second main approach (i.e., a structural change) commonly employed by organizations to improve their supply chains. Write a brief profile of the company you’ve selected following the pattern of the Boeing profile you’ve just examined. The profile should be one to two pages
Secondly, leaking company secrets can lead to major consequences for a company or even jupordize the company’s oppurinity for busniess. For example, in 1999, Lockheed Martin and Boeing, two international known areonautics companies, were competing for the same governmental contract for the Air Force rocket program. During this time, Ken Branch, who previously work for Lockheed Martin, left Lockheed Martin and joined Boeing. Branch knew proprietyary information on Lockheed Martin’s rocket engineering designs, and when he joined with Boeing, he brought 66,000 pages of Lockheed Martin documents to share with Boeing (). By Branch provide company secrets about Lockheed Martin, allowed Boeing to have an advantage on the competition, and Boeing eventually

The purpose of this article written by Jon Ostrower is to inform the public of the changed Boeing is making to the current pension and retirement plans of its employees. The article states, “Boeing Co., following other U.S. companies moving away from traditional pension plans, said Thursday that it would freeze the pension benefits of more than 68,000 nonunion employees, and will shift those workers to 401(k) retirement-savings plans, starting in 2016” (Ostrower, 2014). The change from a prior pension plan is directly associated with incurring costs for the company to continue to pay employees retirement after they have left the workforce. Ostrower explains the statistics of company’s who currently provide pension plans and explains the reasons
This is a case about three different companies dedicated to the manufacturing of aircrafts. Those three major companies are: Boeing, Airbus Industry and McDonnell Douglas; each of one was struggling to produce enough aircraft to satisfy a seemingly unquenchable need for passenger and freight transport around the world, developed in this form many kinds of aircrafts in different models and styles.
Boeing Company has been and is still at the forefront of the aviation industry. The late 1990s were a time of trial and transition where the company encountered and overcame a number of
The Boeing Corporation is one of the largest manufacturers in the world. Rivaled only by European giant Airbus in the aerospace industry, Boeing is a leader in research, design and manufacture of commercial jet airliners, for commercial, industrial and military customers. Despite enjoying immense success in its market and dominating an industry that solely recognizes engineering excellence, it is crucial for Boeing to ensure continued growth through consistent strategy formulation and execution to avoid falling behind in market share to close and coming rivals.
Proper and prudent supply chain management can lead to long term sustained success while lacks supplier selection and relations can lead to a wholly dysfunctional business. In order to perform well against competitors, especially in the large commercial aircraft space which pins Boeing and Airbus against one another in a neck to neck race for dominance, supplier selection must be done with vigilance and all the due diligence. Boeing’s process is one that “emphasizes the importance of competitive bidding as a good business practice”; in application the organization considers, “ability, capacity, integrity, financial status, geographical locations, performance, reliability, quality of product, delivery and overall customer-supplier relations in evaluating a potential supplier before and during a purchase contract” (Boeing Corporation, 2010).
Exporters of such products shall be entitled for duty credit scrip equivalent to 5% of the FOB value of exports for each licencing year commencing from 1st April, 2004 . The scrip and the items imported against it would be freely transferable.
Activities in the commercial aeroplane manufacturing industry have been outshined by the competition involving the European owned Airbus and the USA owned Boeing. These two companies exist as a duopoly at the top end of the commercial aeroplane manufacturing industry that covers the development of airplanes with a capability of more than 200 persons. Other aeroplane manufacturers also exist but at the lower end of the industry, these smaller firms mainly develop low capacity airplanes that basically convey less than 150 persons.
