The 787's supply chain was also targeted to spread the financial risks of development to Boeing's suppliers. Transformational Outsourcing Boeing’s 787 design and development was truly a transformational outsourcing project. Boeing set out to create a new product, which was significantly different from what the company had been producing. Through this project, it aimed at creating a new business model for sourcing, assembling and producing aircrafts. Boeing aimed at decentralizing the design

planned so that the material handling provisions can be incorporated in the initial phases. 1.7 FMS Applications: • GM’s Pontiac Division, Saturn plant and Locomotive plant, Erie, Pennsylvania. • Hughes aircraft plant, EI Segundo, California • Vought aerospace plant, USA • Ford’s Sterling Heights transmission and chassis-axle plant • Manufacturing and machining processes such as –Press working and forging, Sheet metal fabrication, Milling and drilling type operations and assembly lines.
Aircraft of World War II During World War II (WW2) the aeroplane proved to be the military’s greatest asset. It was dominant as it was versatile. Unlike the tank, boat or even the foot soldier the planes can serve in all areas of one countries military, land, sea and of course the air. They could fight where ever needed. Not only did they attack in dog fights or bombing raids they could go for a surveillance or reconnaissance to assist their forces. They destroyed many enemies industrial plants and

John Glenn is a big part of history and these are some of the things he did to get there.(1.) John Glenn attends New Concord High School. He complete all of his grades according to John Glenn teachers, he was a great student they said he always got his work done and the only thing he evered talked about was going to space and becoming an astronaut.(2
Boeing has a very complex supply chain consisting of several international and domestic suppliers with a wide range of financial arrangements from direct ownership to contract arrangements. Due to the specialized nature of the final product, every part has to meet a specified standard of quality. Although it is possible that some supplies may be purchased on the open market, I was unable to find any that are. A fully assembled 737 has 367,000 parts, an equal number of bolts, rivets and other fasteners
The fabulous late 1930s The late 1930’s was full of many political, entertainment, style, and technological advances. The entertainment industry contained many new types of films and songs. New political leaders came to power and dealt with many trying events. Men, women and children began changing the way they dressed.

In our short time of learning to fly, we as the human race have progressed significantly from just observing the birds. We have progressed from being suspended from a balloon, to gliding, and finally flying a heavier than air craft. In just over nine years the renowned Igor Ivanovich Sikorsky not only designed, but built and flew a four engine aircraft from the time the Wilbur and Orville flew the Write Flier. Ivan Sikorsky was responsible for the development of the modern day helicopter, multi-engine
balloons. During WWII, the U.S. had a more successful attempt at producing a UAV, a prototype called, “Operation Aphrodite.” (“Brief” 1) But it was the development of cruise missiles that paved the way for UAVs. The aeronautics company, Chance Vought Aircraft, is the company that took the first step in producing UAVs by proposing the idea of putting landing gear onto missiles. One of the first, full-functioning UAVs is the Firebee. The Firebee was designed by Ryan Aeronautical Company and u
Design of Boeing 737 Fuselage INTRODUCTION In order to study the stresses around a crack developed in a fuselage and its propagation, we have to primarily achieve the CAD design of a fuselage. Particularly, a section of the fuselage frame is needed to achieve the project objective. The Boeing data as provided in the public domain serves as the guideline for the design of the fuselage for this project. To successfully design the fuselage we require the detailed dimensions of the following parts-
