March 12 (Reuters) - Boeing ( BA ) is adding weekly compliance

checks for every 737 work area and additional audits of

equipment to reduce quality problems, Boeing Commercial

Airplanes President and CEO Stan Deal said in a company memo to

employees on Tuesday.

Deal's memo was sent following the U.S. Federal Aviation

Administration's audit of Boeing's ( BA ) 737 MAX manufacturing

processes over the last several weeks. The FAA has curbed Boeing ( BA )

production following the mid-air panel blowout on a 737 MAX 9

jet on January 5.

"Our teams are working to simplify and streamline our

processes and address the panel's recommendations," the memo

said, noting that employees have to focus on looking out for

safety hazards and follow manufacturing processes precisely.
