The article, which cites a message addressed to staff, states that Boeing’s nonunion workforce of over 100,000 employees, managers, and executives will be covered by the plan, one of many designed to address the planemaker’s quality difficulties.
According to the report, the biggest change will occur in the company’s main division, the commercial segment, where safety and quality criteria will now make up 60% of yearly awards.
According to the report, the unit’s financial incentives made up 75% of the annual award, with the other 25% being linked to operational goals like quality and safety.
According to the report, measures that will determine the awards include worker safety, work completed on the assembly line out of order, and so-called rework necessary to address issues.
Seventy-five percent of bonuses in Boeing’s other two businesses, services and defense, will still be decided by financial indicators. But according to the newspaper, the operational scores will only be based on quality and safety.
The article states that CEO Dave Calhoun and other executives and managers in charge of all the units will be chosen based on the average of the three.
A request for comment was not immediately answered by Boeing. Following a mid-air mishap on January 5 involving a new Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 that lost a door plug at 16,000 feet (4,877 meters), the company has been in the news.
Boeing was not allowed to increase the manufacturing of the 737 by the Federal Aviation Administration, which declared in January that “the quality assurance issues we have seen are unacceptable.”
