As Boeing increases composite material use, the need to quickly and accurately certify materials from suppliers is critical to delivering high-performing aircraft on schedule and at competitive prices. The multi-year material insertion process costs tens of millions of dollars in capital investments and any delay increases cost. Boeing charged the Tauber team to document the current state of material insertions for structural fiber composites, identify recurring process issues and potential solutions, and provide recommendations to reduce the time and cost required fo future material insertions.
