I work in an machine shop that manufacturers aerospace parts, fortunately, nothing for Boeing, at least life critical. The remedial action was probably a corrective action, which means a response to how the problem occurred and how it has been remediated to not happen again. At my level, which is a couple of tiers down from Boeing in the manufacturing process, that’s what would be required of us in that situation. The new public pressure may raise the consequences though of the bag holders though.
Yeah, most of those parts probably ended up in the trash, but I’m sure some got used. For them to realize they were missing they had to already be in the quality system but not marked as scrapped/destroyed. I know our scrap bins are locked here.
At the job shop I worked at we were pretty severe about properly documenting scrap and performing MRB actions. At a tier 1, though, not everyone is as important to the quality system or knows much about how it works. Jobs are so specific sometimes and they keep them busy. It only takes one dishonest or highly regarded individual to do something stupid.
I’m lucky I had my job shop experience because I had to learn directly from specs instead of having some distilled down or ojt training.
