Abstract
In a departure from normal procedure, managers at the Boeing Company, one of the world's largest aircraft manufacturers, authorized a hand-p icked team of plating shop personnel to work directly with designers a nd suppliers to construct a new plating facility at Boeing Portland. T he result is one of the most efficient and productive shops in the com pany, which now serves as a model for future improvements at other Boe ing plating facilities.
