Hoping to mend the damage that a protracted and highly public crisis has done to its reputation for safety, Boeing is creating a new internal organization to manage safety-related activities across its major business units.
The new Product and Services Safety organization was created as a result of a five-month review by the company’s board following the second of two deadly crashes. The organization’s job will be to “elevate awareness and reporting of, and accountability for, safety issues within the company,” Boeing announced Monday.
The announcement suggests Boeing is looking at its business at a time when the company’s internal processes and relationship with regulators have been under intense scrutiny.
