I hear that the hidden agenda behind this whole series of events is the failure of a massive overhaul that the previous Sikorsky President (Steven Finger) had attempted. Folks on the inside say that Finger tried to use a six-sigma type "lean" approach everywhere, rearranging the factory space willy nilly, closing departments and also out-sourced many fuselage components enmasse, with very disasterous results. They say the old factory hands were driven to exasperation by this mess.
One supplier in Florida is so bad that Sikorsky has sent 15 inspectors to oversee them (when only one or two is usually sufficient). Timothy Hutton was a Pratt person the Finger hand-selected to run the factory, after Finger ran off all the older hands (who didn't see eye-to-eye with him).
Sikorsky guys say that the disruption while in high rate production tripped up major sections of the factory, and the new President (Jeffery Pino) is trying to get things under control, but the size of the problem makes it hard to fix in a few months.
Since the factory produces almost a hundred Black Hawks and Sea Hawks a year for the US Military, the military has a strong interest in the day to day operations, and has an O-6 Captain at the factory to represent the military. She is the one that is making the move to tighten things back up after the disruption.
