How To Stop The Boeing Plan
Upon review, Boeing should not undergo their plans in developing the 7E7 class of commercial planes. In reviewing the information presented, and
calculating additional estimates, three areas of concern revealed themselves. They are the strength of the numerical information given, the plans
themselves, and the varying risks involved in the development of a new class of plan. To follow, will be the justification for the decision to not
continue with the development of the Boeing 7E7, the alternative if the plan is continued, and a detailed look at the risks involved in taking on the
plan as one of the three reasons to stop the project. The first problem area in Boeing's plan is that some of the numbers lack reliability. As seen in

This positive result means that the 7E7 will have some form of economic benefit for Boeing. However, taking into consideration the above issues, it
is not with one hundred percent certainty, due to the reliability issues of the numbers presented, that the 7E7 project will be a benefit. One issue with
the NPV, is that is fails to take into consideration the risks that are involved in the project. As one of the primary areas of concern for Boeing, the

Analysis Of Boeing And Lockheed Martin
There is a multitude of aerospace manufactures in the business of building airplanes worldwide such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin. In order to
become a global leader in an ultra–competitive market, such as the aerospace industry, Boeing implements cost reducing initiatives such as lean
manufacturing practices. In order to build a complex item such as an airplane on time and on budget, a manufacture will require a competent supply
chain management system to ensure all the needed parts are available to the builders. Implementing technology such as automated equipment to assist in
the reduction of human errors and fatigue will reduce costs associated with rework caused by human error mistakes.
History and background of the organization, also including the types of goods sold and industry in which the organization operates. The illustrious
William E. Boeing founded the remarkable Boeing Company in the summer of 1916. As a visionary, William Boeing built the foundation of the
company on acts and truths rather than assumptions and guesses (Boeing, 2016b). Utilizing facts such as measuring process times to complete a
manufacturing process enables a business to benchmark its production efficiency. Utilizing a single–factor productivity formula is a simple and
effective tool which measures productivity by dividing the number of units produced by the number of labor hours used to complete the task (Heizer &
Render, 2014).

Boeing History
William Boeing bought his first plane and taught himself how to fly in the early 1900's and as soon as he left the ground crashed his seaplane and
nearly destroyed it. Once he destroyed the plane he started to realize that because it would take so long for him to get the necessary parts to make his
plane airworthy again he could build his own custom plane in a shorter amount of time. The fascination with seaplanes directed him toward building his
own seaplane with his friend G.C. Westervelt in their hanger on Lake Union in Seattle.World War Imight have been the reason why Boeing exists
today because once the U.S. Navy received word of the B & W Seaplane they ordered 50 of them and Boeing Airline Company was born. The vision
of Boeing was to not just stop at seaplanes and once World War II started they saw the demand for fighter planes and began to make the P–12. This
made Boeing the leading manufactuer of fighters over the next decade. In 1928 Boeing designed the Boeing 80 which was their first plane with one
intention, to fly 12 passengers commercially as a airline. The main issue ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Boeing Versus Airbus: Trade Disputes
Introduction
For years the commercial aircraft industry has been an American success story. Until 1980, U.S. manufacturers held a virtual monopoly. Despite the
rise of the European–based Airbus Industrie, this persisted through the mid–1990s, when two U.S. firms, Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, accounted
for over two–thirds of world market share. In late 1996, many analysts thought that U.S. dominance in this industry would be further strengthened when
Boeing announced a decision to acquire Mc–Donnell Douglas for $13.3 billion, creating an aerospace behemoth nearly twice the size of its nearest
competitor.
The industry is routinely the largest net contributor to the U.S. balance of trade, and Boeing is the largest U.S. exporter. In ... Show more content on

Perhaps fore–most among these is that the costs of developing a new airliner are enormous. Boeing spent a reported $5 billion developing and tooling
up to produce the 777 wide–bodied jetliner that it introduced in 1994. The development costs for Airbus's new aircraft, the 555–seat A380
"super–jumbo," are estimated to be anywhere between $10 billion and $15 billion. (The A380 is Airbus's direct competitor to Boeing's profitable 747
model line.)
Given such enormous development costs, a company must capture a significant share of world demand to break even. In the case of the 777, for
example, Boeing needed to sell more than 200 aircraft to break even, a figure that represented about 15 percent of predicted industry sales for this class
of aircraft between 1994 and 2004. Given the volume of sales required to break even, it can take up to 10 to 14 years of production for an air–craft
model to turn a profit, and this is on top of the 5 to 6 years of negative cash flows during development.
On the manufacturing side, a significant experience curve exists in aircraft production. Due to learning effects, on average, unit cost falls by about 20
percent with each doubling of accumulated output. A company that fails to move along the experience curve faces a significant unit–cost disadvantage.
A company that achieves only half of the market share required to break even will suffer a 20 percent

Who Is Boeing Used Today?
Boeing's innovative and intricate aircraft structures would not be used today without the determination and perseverance shown throughout history.
Although Boeing has been around for many years, its history lies throughout many decades.
Founded in 1916, Boeing acted as one of the first aerospace producers in the United States. The idea for creating Boeing took place in Seattle in 1914,
by a guy named William E. Boeing. The company built many different models such as the 707, 727, 737, and 747. Because the 747 jetliner was so
expensive, it almost caused Boeing to go bankrupt. The Boeing 707 was the world's first commercially viable jetliner, revolutionizing the travel
experience. Then, came out with the 747 which lowered costs and airfares.

Boeing Company Case Study
For centuries, companies have faced many diversity problems. Boeing is a prime example of how a company faces diversity and how the company
handles the situation. Boeing has been facing diversity challenges since the company opened their doors to the public and government contract work.
The discrimination of African Americans and women droveBoeing to a couple lawsuits. Diversity can either destroy a company if the situation is not
handled correctly, or it can make a company stronger and the business can thrive from past mistakes.

and a reporter for Northwest Enterprise before he decided to help fight the discrimination that was happening at Boeing (Davenport, 2005). He was
appointed head of African American Communist in Seattle when citizens started getting behind the movement. The movement began gaining support
and with more people backing it, IAM and Boeing went to court to settle the dispute. Boeing claimed that they were not being race discriminate but it
was IAM who was not allowing them to come work for Boeing (Pitts, 1941). IAM would not take responsibility, but both companies had a clause in the
oath that stated: "I will not recommend for membership in this union any other than members of the white race" (Pitts, 1941, p.74.). This oath was
repeated before every Local meeting. (Pitts, 1941). Negotiations took place between IAM, Boeing, and the African American Community as to what
they can do to settle it. After several conversations and meetings discussing what would work best for each party, the union members promised to open

America reigned as the "defacto monopolistic" leader in commercial aviation industry. (Sharma, n.d., para. 2). Boeing and McDonnell Douglas maintain

commercial aircraft manufacturer and third largest aerospace defense contractor decided to merge with McDonnell Douglas. McDonnell Douglas also
produces commercial aircraft but held much less of the market share than Boeing. The intent of this paper is to describe the search and screening

world" (The Deal).
Valuation Criteria
Negotiations
Financing
Conclusion
The air craft production industry is one of the most volatile industries due to ever changing supply and demand and high research and development
costs. As the air craft market changed moving towards more commercial demand and declining defense demand, it became in the best interest for
Boeing and McDonnell Douglas to merge into one joint company making them the largest commercial and defense air craft production company.
There can be quite a bit of issues concerning the merger of two companies; some concern what is in the best interest of one company and others may
include the concern of not violating trade laws. The purpose of this paper was to describe the search and screen process and issues; specifically legal,
financial, and operational status, discuss the valuation criteria, valuation and negotiation and bidding processes of the merger between McDonnell
Douglas and Boeing.

The last step of the planning process is controlling and monitoring and is ongoing. All levels of managers are involved in this process using controls
that measure the performance and progress of the plan. This step also allows adjustments to the plan because changes sometimes occur or the plan was
executed improperly. The strategic, tactical, and operational planning must be aligned in order for a plan to succeed.
Legal Issues, Ethics, and Corporate Responsibility
Many internal and external factors influence planning management. Legal issues can destroy a businesses reputation and affect its profitability. In the
1998, Boeing settled a gender discrimination case and agreed to pay $75 million dollars to the accusers. Women employees accused Boeing of paying
them significantly less wages than employees who were men. According to BLR.com (2010), "Boeing admitted no wrongdoing but agreed to change its
hiring, pay, promotion, and complaint investigation procedures" (HR and Employment Law News, para. 2). As a result of the lawsuit, Boeing used the
planning function in the human resources management. Other issues influence Boeing's planning function.

venture with other companies in order to avoid its financial problems.
MAIN PROBLEM
The main problem at this case is how the Airbus industry is going to continue with its financing if the government subsidies, from which it survived,
were being negotiated away because they were considered and unfairly competence. Also it is important for the company knows what kind of things

Boeing is the largest aerospace company and the largest manufacturer of commercial and military aircraft in the world. Boeing 's military aircraft come
equipped with missiles, satellite, launch vehicles and advanced information and communication systems. Boeing is also the number one U.S.
exporter when it comes to sales. Boeing 's aircraft are flown each and every day, all across the United States and the world. Because their products
are used so heavily, and daily for that matter, product liability is a major concern for Boeing. The fact that their products interact directly with the
men and women who fly these planes, and that nearly every flight has an average of 200 or more people on board, these products need to be safe and
thoroughly tested. On that note, health and safety is another major area of legal concern for Boeing. If a fatal accident were to occur, wrongful death
cases are sure to come up if the manufacturer is found at fault. These cases can cost the company upwards of 100 million dollars in revenue, not to
mention the bad publicity that is derived from them as well. One must take into account that the amount of fatal accidents that occur where the

Analysis Of Boeing And Lockheed Martin
There are a multitude of aerospace manufactures in the business of building airplanes worldwide such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin. In order to
become a global leader in an ultra–competitive market, such as the aerospace industry, Boeing implements cost reducing initiatives such as lean
manufacturing practices. In order to build a complex item such as an airplane on time and on budget, a manufacture will require a competent supply
chain management system to ensure all the needed parts are available to the builders. Implementing technology such as automated equipment to assist in
the reduction of human errors and fatigue will reduces costs associated with rework caused by human error mistakes.
History and background of the organization, also including the types of goods sold and industry in which the organization operates. The remarkable
Boeing Company was founded in the summer of 1916 by the illustrious William E. Boeing. William Boeing built the foundation of the company on acts
and truths rather than assumptions and guesses (Boeing, 2016b). Utilizing facts such as measuring process times to complete a manufacturing process
enables a business to benchmark its production efficiency. Utilizing a single–factor productivity formula is a simple and effective tool which measures
productivity by dividing the number of units produced by the number of labor hours used to complete the task (Heizer & Render, 2014).

The Boeing Company is the largest aerospace company in the world, thanks to its 1997 merger with McDonnell Douglas Corporation and its 1996
purchase of the defense and space units of Rockwell International Corporation. The corporation is the world 's number one maker of commercial
jetliners and military aircraft. Boeing has more than 9,000 commercial aircraft in service worldwide, including the 717 through 777 families of jets and
the MD–80, MD–90, and MD–11. In the defense sector, the company makes military aircraft, including fighter, transport, and attack aircraft;

Boeing also purchased Varney Airlines, which began operation in 1925 and won almost every mail contract it applied for until it became overextended
and had financial difficulties.
1929–34: 'United ' Era
With the addition of National Air Transport, Boeing 's airline holdings formed the original United Air Lines. In 1928 all these companies were
organized under a holding company called the Boeing Aircraft and Transportation Company. In 1929 a larger holding company was formed, the United
Aircraft and Transportation Company. Included in this group were the 'United ' airlines and Stout Airlines; Pratt & Whitney (engines); Boeing,
Sikorsky, Northrop, and Stearman (manufacturers); and Standard Steel Prop and Hamilton Aero Manufacturing (propellers). Boeing was made
chairman of the company and Fred Rentschler of Pratt & Whitney was named president.
Boeing and Rentschler became extremely wealthy in this reorganization by exchanging stock with the holding company in a method similar to J.P.
Morgan 's controversial capital manipulation. They multiplied their original investments by a factor of as much as 200,000 times. It was, however,
entirely legal at the time. In 1933 the government conducted an investigation of fraud and other illegal practices in the airline industry. Boeing was

Boeing
Boeing headquarters is an aircraft manufacturing company founded by William E. Boeing on July 15, 1916 in Seattle Washington but was later
relocated to Chicago in 2001. The company started by producing a single canvas and wood airplane that completely transformed transportation. This
invention allowed them to successfully become the world's largest aerospace company and furthermore has allowed them to become the leading
producer of military aircraft, helicopter, space vehicles and missiles. Their three main groups of products and services are commercial airplanes,
military aircraft and missiles, space and communications. They manufacture seven distinct families of commercial aircraft which are assembled in two
facilities: Renton and Everett, WA and another facility in California. The Renton plant is most popular for building the narrowbodyBoeing 737. In
Everett, they are known for assembling the 787 aircraft, also assembled at a facility in North Charleston, South Carolina. Apart from being known for
their famous aircraft inventions, the company is also known for having a diverse workforce as they have partnered with minority institutions and
historically black colleges and university. According to Ted Colbert's message, this has allowed the company to have a strong position as it begins its
second century. This is very beneficial for the company since being an American multinational company corporation that designs, manufactures and
sells airplanes, satellites, and many other creations around the world, their diverse workforce allows proper communication between clients and the
company. Furthermore, diversity also allows an open minded and objective perspective from employees which is essential for any company.
Diversity can be defined as the real or perceived variations between people which have an effect on their relationship and interactions with others.
Diversity can be caused by differences in people such as their race, ethnicity, sex, religion, age, physical and mental abilities as well as sexual

take about 15 – 20 years to develop a next–generation commercial aircraft and production may stretch out for decades, depending on the no. of units
ordered. This may act as a barrier of entry for potential new entrants. Illustrating the third force which is Power of Suppliers,
There are only 3 main competitors in the commercial jet engine–making industry which operates as an oligopoly. Historically, all of these companies
have competed with each other for jet engine contracts which led to intense price wars. To avert ruinous price wars, these companies typically enter
into exclusive supplier contracts with aircraft manufacturers. In such arrangements, the engine maker becomes the sole provider of jet engines for a
specific aircraft model.
In addition, the big jet engine makers give heavily discounted price, partly to lock in lucrative long term replacement parts, repairs and maintenace
business, thereby reducing the power of these jet engine makers.
On the other hand, for the power of customers,
Airlines usually buy new jets under long–term fixed price contracts. This effectively shifts the financial risk to the aircraft manufacturer as they have no

–0.35) +
65.6*0.1582 = 1.1917 + 7.3996 = 11.6% The WACC calculates an overall return that a corporation must earn on its existing assets and business
operation in order to increase or maintain the current value of the current stock. At the date of this case, stock prices for Boeing closed at $36.41.
In order to maintain this stock price over the life of the 7E7 project, the company must earn at least 11.6% returns from the project. Overall, based
on the initial calculations, the project appears to be economically reasonable. The discount rate for this project should be 15.82% however, to
maintain the value of stocks, Boeing only needed an 11.6% return from the 7E7 project. This means the company had a good safety margin in
discounting cash flow to net present value. Sensitivity analysis is a technique used to determine how varying independent variable values will impact
a selected dependent variable under given assumptions. Utilizing sensitivity analysis is a way to predict the outcome of a situation if key predictions

Stuart Taylor Chris Tillmanns November 13, 2002
The airline manufacturing industry consists of only two firms, Airbus in Toulouse, France and the Chicago–based Boeing. Two recent research and
development moves at the two firms offer an insight into the positioning strategy that each is taking in the future market place. It seems the two firms
are accenting two niche markets with a pair of flagship products, neither of which are in direct competition with each other. This will allow for the
firms to stave off price competition in the short term by differentiating product lines, which is desirable given the recent increase in buyer power
gained by lowcost airlines.

Current Aircraft Market
The airline industry is in a downturn. In 2001, the International Air Transport Association had a net loss of $17 billion, which is more than the
industry has made in its entire history. 3 This has led to a grim short–term outlook for the airline manufacturers, and subsequently Boeing has cut 2002
production in half4 and Airbus by one fourth. 5 This, however, is not necessarily a good measure of the industry's condition, since both companies
have an extensive backlog that can be used to maintain these new targets. Although the total backlog of 2,783 planes is worth an estimated $172
million dollars6 it is also somewhat uncertain due to lax cancellation penalties negotiated by the airlines during the boom years. Furthermore, the rise of
low–cost airlines does not directly translate into a larger market for aircraft due to the fact that the success of low end carriers tends to reduce the
demand for aircraft by the large carriers.7 It is important to note however, that this is not a permanent depression in the market, but a reflection of the
cyclical nature of the industry.

In fierce competition with Boeing, venture into VLA segment – as a rather neglected segment by Boeing – could pose as a strategic opportunity for
Airbus which it could utilize to build a competitive advantage combined with its technological resources and capabilities. However, its assumptions of
a drastic increase in VLAs demanded in next 20 years along with its ability to satisfy most of this are too optimistic. Provided that these assumptions
(inc. breakeven points, initial order requirements) are normalized, A3XX is a project worthy to pursue for Airbus in order to exploit a neglected spot

We don't have a market risk premium value at hand for aviation sector but even if it is 15% – the rate of return Airbus presumes – then 3.9% +
0.84X(15–3.9) = 13.2. So the project seems feasible. However, when we apply the operating margin of 15%–20% as the source of cash flow per plane,
we see that from 288 to 385 planes would be needed for a breakeven to compensate investment costs. If we also take into consideration of the fact
that these payments will not be made all in the first year, each cash flow will need to be discounted based on real interest rate (3.9%) and the year in
question. We can easily say, if the plane price is not appropriated accordingly each year, the breakeven point will go even farther away from what
Airbus imagined.
As for competition, Boeing had built approximately 85% of the industry's current fleet, which indicates the high experience and brand awareness of
Boeing in the industry, which is a competitive advantage in terms of strong service level. 747–400 is the only model that can be seen as an alternative
to the new Airbus VLA models. Boeing's 747 launch case indicates that this kind of decision to make for Airbus should based on long term projections.

3. How would we know if the 7E7 project will create value?
Students may be familiar with the classic NPV criterion. This case invites them to focus on the internal rate of return (IRR). If the IRR is greater than
the project cost of capital, the 7E7 is a positive net present value project.1 A discussion of why this is true provides a solid "big picture" foundation for
the case decision. The project IRRs are presented in case Exhibit 9. Therefore, the focus of student analysis should be on determining the benchmark
against which to evaluate the IRRs. Thus, this part of the discussion helps to motivate the analysis of WACC. Some students may have voted in a

Boeing Industry Analysis Paper
Introduction: We are a subcontracted company of the Boeing Company that our contract is to make precision engine parts. To meet the growing
demand of the market and the out dated equipment we have in hand now. I am tasked with finding a new power source for our company. The first
power source I Looked at is a Lincoln Precision Tig 375. The next one I took a look at is a Miller Dynasty 350. Application: The use of thinner
gauge Ti and Ni alloys is pushing the aircraft engine industry to ensure high quality welds can be made with lower levels of heat input. Every part we
produce goes through our nondestructive laboratory to test the welds under x–ray or die penetrant. Key Factors 1: High frequency: With our company
being located so close to a local airport we are under strict guidelines for the use of high frequency during the welding process.... Show more content on

3: Energy Savings: Our current machines are an amperage hog. With updating to newer power sources we hope to be able to cut back on the
amperage draw at idle as well as when welding is being performed. 4: Labor Savings: With every weld we produce having to go through
nondestructive testing its labor intensive processes. When a weld does not pass on the first time the time and cost it takes to make it right is more
than double what it would normally cost. 5: Warranty: With having to upgrade having a warranty on the power source will be a major role. As our
staff will have to be trained on these newer and more advanced machines we are expecting some malfunctions. Comparison: 1: High frequency in the
Miller Dynasty 350 is only on when you initiate the arc. This in turn eliminates issues with continuous high frequency. On the Lincoln Precision Tig
375 side they utilize continuous high frequency to eliminate cross over arc

  • 5. Analysis Of Boeing And Lockheed Martin There is a multitude of aerospace manufactures in the business of building airplanes worldwide such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin. In order to become a global leader in an ultra–competitive market, such as the aerospace industry, Boeing implements cost reducing initiatives such as lean manufacturing practices. In order to build a complex item such as an airplane on time and on budget, a manufacture will require a competent supply chain management system to ensure all the needed parts are available to the builders. Implementing technology such as automated equipment to assist in the reduction of human errors and fatigue will reduce costs associated with rework caused by human error mistakes. History and background of the organization, also including the types of goods sold and industry in which the organization operates. The illustrious William E. Boeing founded the remarkable Boeing Company in the summer of 1916. As a visionary, William Boeing built the foundation of the company on acts and truths rather than assumptions and guesses (Boeing, 2016b). Utilizing facts such as measuring process times to complete a manufacturing process enables a business to benchmark its production efficiency. Utilizing a single–factor productivity formula is a simple and effective tool which measures productivity by dividing the number of units produced by the number of labor hours used to complete the task (Heizer & Render, 2014).

  • 6. Boeing History William Boeing bought his first plane and taught himself how to fly in the early 1900's and as soon as he left the ground crashed his seaplane and nearly destroyed it. Once he destroyed the plane he started to realize that because it would take so long for him to get the necessary parts to make his plane airworthy again he could build his own custom plane in a shorter amount of time. The fascination with seaplanes directed him toward building his own seaplane with his friend G.C. Westervelt in their hanger on Lake Union in Seattle.World War Imight have been the reason why Boeing exists today because once the U.S. Navy received word of the B & W Seaplane they ordered 50 of them and Boeing Airline Company was born. The vision of Boeing was to not just stop at seaplanes and once World War II started they saw the demand for fighter planes and began to make the P–12.

  • 7. Boeing Versus Airbus: Trade Disputes Introduction For years the commercial aircraft industry has been an American success story. Until 1980, U.S. manufacturers held a virtual monopoly. Despite the rise of the European–based Airbus Industrie, this persisted through the mid–1990s, when two U.S. firms, Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, accounted for over two–thirds of world market share. In late 1996, many analysts thought that U.S. dominance in this industry would be further strengthened when Boeing announced a decision to acquire Mc–Donnell Douglas for $13.3 billion, creating an aerospace behemoth nearly twice the size of its nearest competitor. The industry is routinely the largest net contributor to the U.S. balance of trade, and Boeing is the largest U.S. exporter. In ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Perhaps fore–most among these is that the costs of developing a new airliner are enormous. Boeing spent a reported $5 billion developing and tooling up to produce the 777 wide–bodied jetliner that it introduced in 1994. The development costs for Airbus's new aircraft, the 555–seat A380 "super–jumbo," are estimated to be anywhere between $10 billion and $15 billion. (The A380 is Airbus's direct competitor to Boeing's profitable 747 model line.) Given such enormous development costs, a company must capture a significant share of world demand to break even. In the case of the 777, for example, Boeing needed to sell more than 200 aircraft to break even, a figure that represented about 15 percent of predicted industry sales for this class of aircraft between 1994 and 2004. Given the volume of sales required to break even, it can take up to 10 to 14 years of production for an air–craft model to turn a profit, and this is on top of the 5 to 6 years of negative cash flows during development. On the manufacturing side, a significant experience curve exists in aircraft production. Due to learning effects, on average, unit cost falls by about 20 percent with each doubling of accumulated output. A company that fails to move along the experience curve faces a significant unit–cost disadvantage. A company that achieves only half of the market share required to break even will suffer a 20 percent ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Although Boeing has been around for many years, its history lies throughout many decades. Founded in 1916, Boeing acted as one of the first aerospace producers in the United States. The idea for creating Boeing took place in Seattle in 1914, by a guy named William E. Boeing. The company built many different models such as the 707, 727, 737, and 747.

Diversity can either destroy a company if the situation is not handled correctly, or it can make a company stronger and the business can thrive from past mistakes.

Mr. Hutchins was a black activist and a reporter for Northwest Enterprise before he decided to help fight the discrimination that was happening at Boeing (Davenport, 2005). He was appointed head of African American Communist in Seattle when citizens started getting behind the movement. The movement began gaining support and with more people backing it, IAM and Boeing went to court to settle the dispute. Boeing claimed that they were not being race discriminate but it was IAM who was not allowing them to come work for Boeing (Pitts, 1941). IAM would not take responsibility, but both companies had a clause in the oath that stated: "I will not recommend for membership in this union any other than members of the white race" (Pitts, 1941, p.74.). This oath was repeated before every Local meeting. (Pitts, 1941). Negotiations took place between IAM, Boeing, and the African American Community as to what they can do to settle it.

Boeing and McDonnell Douglas maintain a comfortable margin, controlling two thirds of the world's market shares through the mid 1990's. McDonnell Douglas, a company merger from the late 1960's, struggled with industry competition in the latter half of the century. Boeing acquired McDonnell Douglas in 1997; an effort Boeing thought would secure its position within the commercial airline industry.

Valuation Criteria Negotiations Financing Conclusion The air craft production industry is one of the most volatile industries due to ever changing supply and demand and high research and development costs. As the air craft market changed moving towards more commercial demand and declining defense demand, it became in the best interest for Boeing and McDonnell Douglas to merge into one joint company making them the largest commercial and defense air craft production company. There can be quite a bit of issues concerning the merger of two companies; some concern what is in the best interest of one company and others may include the concern of not violating trade laws. The purpose of this paper was to describe the search and screen process and issues; specifically legal, financial, and operational status, discuss the valuation criteria, valuation and negotiation and bidding processes of the merger between McDonnell Douglas and Boeing.

The last step of the planning process is controlling and monitoring and is ongoing. All levels of managers are involved in this process using controls that measure the performance and progress of the plan. This step also allows adjustments to the plan because changes sometimes occur or the plan was executed improperly. The strategic, tactical, and operational planning must be aligned in order for a plan to succeed. Legal Issues, Ethics, and Corporate Responsibility Many internal and external factors influence planning management. Legal issues can destroy a businesses reputation and affect its profitability. In the 1998, Boeing settled a gender discrimination case and agreed to pay $75 million dollars to the accusers. Women employees accused Boeing of paying them significantly less wages than employees who were men. According to BLR.com (2010), "Boeing admitted no wrongdoing but agreed to change its hiring, pay, promotion, and complaint investigation procedures" (HR and Employment Law News, para. 2).

Boeing Legal Impact Analysis Boeing Essay To: Head of Legal Analytics Department From: William Locklier Date: April 25, 2015 Subject: Boeing Legal Impact Analysis Boeing: An Overview Boeing is the largest aerospace company and the largest manufacturer of commercial and military aircraft in the world. Boeing 's military aircraft come equipped with missiles, satellite, launch vehicles and advanced information and communication systems. Boeing is also the number one U.S. exporter when it comes to sales. Boeing 's aircraft are flown each and every day, all across the United States and the world. Because their products are used so heavily, and daily for that matter, product liability is a major concern for Boeing. The fact that their products interact directly with the men and women who fly these planes, and that nearly every flight has an average of 200 or more people on board, these products need to be safe and thoroughly tested. On that note, health and safety is another major area of legal concern for Boeing. If a fatal accident were to occur, wrongful death cases are sure to come up if the manufacturer is found at fault. These cases can cost the company upwards of 100 million dollars in revenue, not to mention the bad publicity that is derived from them as well.

In order to become a global leader in an ultra–competitive market, such as the aerospace industry, Boeing implements cost reducing initiatives such as lean manufacturing practices. In order to build a complex item such as an airplane on time and on budget, a manufacture will require a competent supply chain management system to ensure all the needed parts are available to the builders.

This may act as a barrier of entry for potential new entrants. Illustrating the third force which is Power of Suppliers, There are only 3 main competitors in the commercial jet engine–making industry which operates as an oligopoly. Historically, all of these companies have competed with each other for jet engine contracts which led to intense price wars. To avert ruinous price wars, these companies typically enter into exclusive supplier contracts with aircraft manufacturers. In such arrangements, the engine maker becomes the sole provider of jet engines for a specific aircraft model. In addition, the big jet engine makers give heavily discounted price, partly to lock in lucrative long term replacement parts, repairs and maintenace business, thereby reducing the power of these jet engine makers.

In 2001, the International Air Transport Association had a net loss of $17 billion, which is more than the industry has made in its entire history. 3 This has led to a grim short–term outlook for the airline manufacturers, and subsequently Boeing has cut 2002 production in half4 and Airbus by one fourth. 5 This, however, is not necessarily a good measure of the industry's condition, since both companies have an extensive backlog that can be used to maintain these new targets. Although the total backlog of 2,783 planes is worth an estimated $172 million dollars6 it is also somewhat uncertain due to lax cancellation penalties negotiated by the airlines during the boom years. Furthermore, the rise of low–cost airlines does not directly translate into a larger market for aircraft due to the fact that the success of low end carriers tends to reduce the demand for aircraft by the large carriers.7 It is important to note however, that this is not a permanent depression in the market, but a reflection of the cyclical nature of the industry.

However, when we apply the operating margin of 15%–20% as the source of cash flow per plane, we see that from 288 to 385 planes would be needed for a breakeven to compensate investment costs. If we also take into consideration of the fact that these payments will not be made all in the first year, each cash flow will need to be discounted based on real interest rate (3.9%) and the year in question. We can easily say, if the plane price is not appropriated accordingly each year, the breakeven point will go even farther away from what Airbus imagined. As for competition, Boeing had built approximately 85% of the industry's current fleet, which indicates the high experience and brand awareness of Boeing in the industry, which is a competitive advantage in terms of strong service level. 747–400 is the only model that can be seen as an alternative to the new Airbus VLA models.

Both of these production lines are over 40 years old and contribute to significant portions of annual revenues. Boeing also manufactures many different defense aircraft, including helicopters, airplanes, and weapons systems. Occasionally, Boeing will create parts for spacecraft, but its main work in space–related products are its satellite systems and global positioning systems. Boeing has been involved in space–related technologies since 1995. Boeing's position as a mature, well–established, and financially stable firm provides it with many competitive advantages. First and foremost, Boeing has been manufacturing airplanes for one hundred years, contributing to significant brand recognition and loyalty within the customer base. ...

  • 42. TN16 The Boeing 7E7 THE BOEING 7E7 Teaching Note Synopsis and Objectives In 2003, the Boeing Company announced plans to build a new "super–efficient" commercial jet called the "7E7" or "Dreamliner." This was a "bet the farm" gamble by Boeing, similar in magnitude to its earlier introductions of the 747 and 777 airliners. The technological superiority of the new airframe, as well as the fact that it would penetrate a rapidly growing market segment, were arguments for approval of the project. On the other hand, the current market for commercial airplanes was depressed because of terrorism risks, war, and SARS, a contagious illness that resulted in global travel warnings. Boeing's board of directors would need to weigh those ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The instructor could easily take a "devil's advocate" approach toward the prevailing sentiment and invite defense of the students' opinions. In any event, acknowledgment of a range of estimates builds drama and confirms that there are competing views among students–this motivates a detailed discussion of the financial analysis. 3. How would we know if the 7E7 project will create value? Students may be familiar with the classic NPV criterion. This case invites them to focus on the internal rate of return (IRR). If the IRR is greater than the project cost of capital, the 7E7 is a positive net present value project.1 A discussion of why this is true provides a solid "big picture" foundation for the case decision. The project IRRs are presented in case Exhibit 9. Therefore, the focus of student analysis should be on determining the benchmark against which to evaluate the IRRs. Thus, this part of the discussion helps to motivate the analysis of WACC. Some students may have voted in a manner that contradicts the IRR versus the cost of capital decision rule. This sets up the next question. 4. Okay, let's examine the details of how to estimate the WACC. Let's go step –by–step. Where shall we get started? The instructor can ask one student (or team of students) to walk the class through the detailed calculations. The presenter(s) may make one or more errors or adopt some controversial practice in making the calculations. This presents a strategic

With the company being in the public eye at all times the planners must determine where, when, and how the product will be used before they begin building, testing, and using the new technologies. Since Boeing has become such a large company it has had to continuously evaluating the way it does things to make sure that they are doing the right thing. Boeing also has a legal responsibility to the military, government, and commercial markets to provide the newest technology available and get the approval from the United States government before they produce any military technologies for the foreign government/powers. When Boeing deals with the military they are required and mandated to keep some equipment specifications classified so that they do not fall into the wrong hands. If this security is breached Boeing would be held responsible and this could be detrimental to our homeland security and military. Boeing also has a social responsibility to provide jobs to their employees and community. "Boeing rightly insists that they cannot be expected to provide jobs for the life in a fast–changing, global market. But what they can–and should–offer employees, is a tool kit of portable skills, a high level of training that allows displaced workers to land new jobs" (McMurdy, 1996 par.8). In some ways Boeing believes by providing the jobs to the community it places them in an advantage where ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 48. Boeing Industry Analysis Paper Introduction: We are a subcontracted company of the Boeing Company that our contract is to make precision engine parts. To meet the growing demand of the market and the out dated equipment we have in hand now. I am tasked with finding a new power source for our company. The first power source I Looked at is a Lincoln Precision Tig 375. The next one I took a look at is a Miller Dynasty 350. Application: The use of thinner gauge Ti and Ni alloys is pushing the aircraft engine industry to ensure high quality welds can be made with lower levels of heat input. Every part we produce goes through our nondestructive laboratory to test the welds under x–ray or die penetrant. Key Factors 1: High frequency: With our company being located so close to a local airport we are under strict guidelines for the use of high frequency during the welding process.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... 3: Energy Savings: Our current machines are an amperage hog. With updating to newer power sources we hope to be able to cut back on the amperage draw at idle as well as when welding is being performed. 4: Labor Savings: With every weld we produce having to go through nondestructive testing its labor intensive processes. When a weld does not pass on the first time the time and cost it takes to make it right is more than double what it would normally cost. 5: Warranty: With having to upgrade having a warranty on the power source will be a major role. As our staff will have to be trained on these newer and more advanced machines we are expecting some malfunctions. Comparison: 1: High frequency in the Miller Dynasty 350 is only on when you initiate the arc. This in turn eliminates issues with continuous high frequency. On the Lincoln Precision Tig 375 side they utilize continuous high frequency to eliminate cross over arc ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
