9. The Peer Produced Airplane
• In the past, Boeing wrote detailed
specifications for each part and
asked suppliers to build to a plan.
• Today, suppliers co-design
airplanes from scratch and deliver
complete sub-assemblies to
Boeing’s factory, where a single
plane can be snapped together like
Lego blocks, in as little as 3 days.

12. This Quote...got me thinking?
“When I was a boy a family motor
car cost three times the value of an
ordinary suburban home, now a
suburban home costs three times
as much as a motor car.
Now that shows the progress that
industrialisation has brought to the
production of motor vehicles. In the
building trade, on the other hand,
there has been very little progress …
since Noah built the ark!”
