Washington State has to play the add-value card, not low-cost-leader ace
Jon Talton’s article, “Washington State has to play the add-value card, not low-cost-leader ace” made me think about actuality of business that I haven’t thought about. According to the Seattle Times, the Boeing Company received an incentive package from South Carolina of up to $170 million and the North Charles plant is expected to create 3,800 jobs within seven years and construction will mean another 2,000 jobs. It would be amazing largest story for South Carolina.
I don’t agree with where Jon mentioned about Boeing’s next expansion in Asian, because not even Japan, the leader of technology, not able to build an air-plain yet. They can’t even design well an air-plain without any help. Building an air-plain requires a very high-technology that only U.S.A. has so far.
And I don’t think this new 787 Dreamliner factory expansion causes more unemployed in Washing State, because Jim Albaugh, president and chief executive of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said “Puget Sound will continue to design and produce airplanes, including the 787.” But, since Boeing Company decided to outsource the work for making parts of the 787 Dreamliner for cheaper costs in SC, people who working in the factory on WA will lost their jobs a lot.
Unlikely, 787 Deamliner built from light-weight carbon composite part, so Boeing Company relied on partners to build huge section of the plane. Once Boeing Company completes the 787 program, many problems will solve in shortly.
