Boeing to boost 737 production by closing ‘shadow’ factory, WSJ reports

Boeing (BA) aims to ramp up 737 production by eliminating shadow factories where planes are fixed instead of built, freeing up skilled workers for new aircraft production, The Wall Street Journal’s Sharon Terlep reports. The company faces challenges in clearing out dozens of planes from shadow factories, including grounded MAXs and 787s awaiting quality checks. Boeing’s efforts to improve factory quality and supplier performance, including the acquisition of Spirit AeroSystems (SPR), are crucial for the entire industry, with suppliers and airlines relying on consistent production, the report says.
