2 PROJECT MANAGEMENT1. IntroductionBoeing commercial Airplanes with an aim of delivering the company’s most fuelefficient airliner, undertook a project to develop Boeing 787 dreamliner jet airliner usingcomposite materials for construction work. The most striking features of this airliner are thefour-panel windshield, noise reducing chevrons and a smooth nose contour. These featureshelped the 787 dreamliner become world’s fastest selling wide body airliner with a huge numberof orders (Wagner and Norris 2009). However, the project suffered many hurdles due toimproper execution and inefficient implementation. The project problems and the projectmanagement problems of Boeing 787 dreamliner jet are elaborated in the following paragraphs. 2. The project ProblemsThe major problem identified in the said project are listed below- 1) Boeing aimed at trimming excess weight of the airliner; however, the first aircraft wasoverweight by 5000lb or 2300kg. This is mainly due to the inefficiency in developing a properstructure of the airliner. This resulted in the considerable delay.2) The project suffered multiple delays because of the procurement, sub assembly andmajor technical problems that were identified in the later stages of development (Denning 2013).3) Another major delay resulted when the completed airliner could not pass the testingphase. An in flight fire on the Rolls Royce engine of the aircraft was identified during the testingphase, which added to the considerable delay in the product launching.
