The Federal Aviation Administration announced on Monday that its audit of 737 Max manufacturing at Boeing and its supplier revealed 'multiple instances' of failing to ensure manufacturing met quality standards. The FAA identified 'non-compliance issues' related to Boeing's manufacturing-process control and parts handling and storage, although specific details were not disclosed.
The summary of findings from the six-week audit was shared with Boeing and supplier Spirit AeroSystems, but not made public due to the ongoing investigation. Spirit AeroSystems expressed willingness to address the audit findings and collaborate with Boeing and the FAA on corrective actions.
