Problems with the Boeing 787 Dreamliner’s far-flung supply chain are now causing parts shortages that have translated into an early delay in the airliner’s production. The company has announced that Dreamliners number 23 and 24 will be held up for about 24 days as it attempts to resolve production or delivery problems at a small number of the program’s many, often distant, small parts suppliers. Boeing did not indicate that the interruption would result in any short-term layoffs. There are currently 866 of the jets on order and Boeing was, until this interruption, answering that with two finished Dreamliners per month even as flight testing continues. The manufacturer didn’t name names, but last year bought Vought Aircraft Industries in Charleston, S.C., after that supplier failed to meet the 787 program’s demands. The Wall Street Journal reported that the former Vought facility and a Dreamliner parts supplier in Italy have been involved in recent supply chain kinks.
