Boeing updates training for new hires in manufacturing and quality
May 23, 2024 4:16 PM

(Reuters) - Boeing ( BA ) said on Thursday the planemaker has updated its workforce training for new hires for manufacturing and quality after pausing it in late February.

Its new hires will now receive 10 to 14 weeks of foundational skills training before moving to the production floor, which is one to two weeks more on average per employee than in the past.

At its Renton training center, Boeing ( BA ) has installed a section of 737 fuselage for employees to practice skills such as wiring installation and identifying potential defects.

Following Alaska Airlines incident on Jan.5 when a door panel of a 737 MAX 9 detached during a flight, the company is overhauling manufacturing practices as it grapples with investigations and slumping production of its strongest-selling jet.

L&T defence arm bags govt contract for supply of Pinaka Weapon Systems
Sep 4, 2020
Engineering and construction major Larsen & Toubro (L&T) on Friday said its defence arm has received orders for the Indian Ministry of Defence (MoD) for the supply of four regiments of Pinaka Weapon Systems. "The contract involves supply of Pinaka launchers, battery command posts and associated engineering support package (ESP) for four regiments," L&T said in a regulatory filing. The company did not provide the value of the contracts, but said the orders fall under the significant category, which ranges between Rs 1,000 crore and Rs 2,500 crore according to the classification of contracts. L&T said the Pinaka launch system has been indigenously developed by the company as part of Pinaka development program of Defence Research and Development Organization and functions as a high tech, all weather, long range, area fire artillery weapon system. L&T said it has already executed similar orders from the Ministry of Defence and supplied two regiments of Pinaka systems earlier. Shares of L&T were trading 0.97 per cent lower at Rs 951.70 apiece on BSE. .
