Description
Workers returned to Boeing's manufacturing facility in Renton on Thursday after learning Max 9 planes have a pathway to takeoff again, though expansion of production on future planes now has conditions attached.
Assembly was on pause as the company held a pre-planned, one day "Quality Stand Down" meeting with a focus on safety. The entire factory paused 737 production for 15 hours through two shifts, with 10,000 employees taking part, according to the company. A third shift plans their stand down next week.
Production leaders discussed recent issues and employees gathered in teams to inspect work areas and identify improvements, according to Boeing. In the coming weeks, similar stand downs will be held at factories in Everett and North Charleston, South Carolina.
