One of the biggest thing that I’ve seen so far in the Navy aviation field is the foreign object damage prevention program. It’s there to prevent aircraft from begin damaged from ingestion of debris. What foreign object does is cause damage to the turbine and compressor in the engine, which in term can cause the aircraft to be grounded. It also mean that the aircraft must be sent in for maintenance and its cost time and money to the company, as well as, delayed in the flight schedule. As a manager, I would have a program similar to what Navy has and implemented in my work space to insure that a through walkthrough of the taxi way is clear of debris and making sure that every aircraft that leave the maintenance area is FOD free.

A key factor in determining a project's viability is its cost of capital [WACC]. The estimation of Boeing's WACC must be consistent with the overall valuation approach and the definition of cash flows to be discounted. Note that this process is a forward looking focus and is laden with uncertainty. It is how the assumptions are modeled that many costly mistakes can be made. While finding a rate of return for an individual project, it is important to remember that WACC is only appropriate for an individual project.
