Boeing Commercial Airplanes to Reduce Workforce by Around 5%
By Elias Schisgall
Boeing's commercial aircraft unit plans to reduce its workforce by around 5%.
Stephanie Pope, chief executive of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, announced the reduction in a Monday memo to the division's employees. She said layoffs will be necessary to implement a revised business plan and stabilize the company's supply chain.
"As shared in our third quarter earnings, we need to reset the pace of our production rate ramps to provide our factories and supply chain partners additional time to achieve stability," she said. "Adjusting our production schedules and reducing aircraft output puts us in an overstaffed position."
The workforce reduction will be implemented through a combination of involuntary layoffs and attrition, Pope said. Notifications are expected to begin in December.
