Answer the following questions based on the Boeing case:

1. Consider the value proposition for the Boeing 787 aircraft - why was this such a revolutionary product for 1st and 2nd tier customers?

2. Describe Boeing’s supply chain strategy shift with the 787. Was this a good idea?

3. In your opinion what were the biggest risks, and why.

4. In addition to the risk mitigations described in Table 6 on page 82, is there anything else Boeing could have done to mitigate risk in their product launch given their radical supply chain shift?
