The document summarizes lessons learned from the Boeing 787 development and production program. Key issues discussed include design problems with the wing, fuselage joins, and other systems. Weight management was a major challenge, with the maximum takeoff weight increasing by over 8 tons from initial targets. Production ramp-up faced delays due to issues with outsourcing of work and lower than planned assembly rates. The program faced significant schedule delays and the document evaluates some of the root causes of these challenges.
