Boeing Creates New Unit to Improve Product, Services Safety

: Oct 1, 2019 - : 12:43 am

Acting on recommendations by its board of directors, Boeing is creating a new unit as part of its efforts to improve the safely of its products and services.

The new Product and Services Safety organization will be led by Beth Pasztor, who has previously served as vice president of safety, security and compliance for Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg. The team will review “all aspects of product safety, including investigating cases of undue pressure and anonymous product and service safety concerns raised by employees,” Muilenburg added.

Pasztor will also oversee Boeing’s accident investigation team, safety review boards and its “Organization Designation Authorization,” the company’s engineering and technical experts representing the Federal Aviation Administration in airplane certification activities. She will report to the Aerospace Safety Committee of the company’s board of directors and Greg Hyslop, Boeing chief engineer and senior vice president of Engineering, Test and Technology.

The recommendations from the company’s board of directors came after a five-month review of company’s policies and processes for airplane design and development by a specially appointed committee.

“These changes will enhance our team and amplify our focus on safety, while benefiting our customers and operational performance, and intensify our focus on learning, tools and talent development across the company,” Muilenburg said.

The company’s focus on safety comes in the wake of problems with its best-selling 737 MAX jets, which were involved in two crashes that killed 346 people. A flight-control software on the aircraft was linked to the two disasters and led to the world-wide grounding of the aircraft.
