The answer to the problem is easy. Employ more engineers, and a few necessary support staff (planner, tech services and MT! and perhaps a storeman), Then fix aircraft on time and on spec, which the engineers can do no problem, then the customer should be happy and pay for it.
They do not need formula 1 and its olympic stadium, blackbelt librarians and 3 grades of production planning,dock controlling data inputters.
