WASHINGTON - Feb. 2, 2025 - PRLog -- Daryl Guberman, a quality assurance expert with over 40 years of experience in aerospace, medical, materials, printing, and plastic distribution, has revealed that Boeing quietly removed supplier information letters from its website in January 2025. Guberman, who has long scrutinized Boeing's quality control practices, believes this action is directly tied to his public exposure of the company's 22-year history of relinquishing on-site auditing at an April 17, 2024, Senate subcommittee hearing for whistleblower Sam Salephour.

During this hearing, Salephour, a Boeing engineer, testified about critical design concerns related to the Boeing 777 and 787 aircraft. Guberman, present at the hearing, took the opportunity to address the committee following testimony from an MIT representative. He detailed Boeing's systemic failure in supplier oversight, tracing it back to the company's decision in April 2002 to eliminate on-site inspections in favor of third-party certifications, following layoffs of 20,000–30,000 employees after 9/11. https://theworldlink.com/boeing-to-cut-20-000-to-30-000-jobs-by-end-of-next-year/article_f633820c-ddac-5ba0-9641-2e0a7d90c0cf.html

Boeing's shift to NADCAP-National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program- special process (heat treatment, welding etc.) certifications transferred direct inspection responsibilities away from manufacturers like Boeing to the Performance Review Institute-PRI, a third-party organization that still manages certifications for critical processes. By July 2002, Boeing had issued a supplier bulletin stating that as long as suppliers were AS9100-certified and accredited by ANSI- ANAB, on-site audits would not be required.

Guberman's investigations, including discussions with striking IAM 751 union workers at Boeing's Renton, Everett, Auburn, and Northfield facilities, revealed that this reliance on third-party certifications has led to substandard parts entering Boeing's supply chain. Employees reported that components from certified suppliers frequently arrived out of tolerance, failing to meet aircraft specifications.

Boeing's Demand for AS9100 Certification and its Impact on Quality Oversight:

Perhaps most shocking is Guberman's discovery that Boeing Commercial Airplanes itself was NEVER AS9100 certified for aerospace manufacturing, despite mandating this certification for its suppliers. He hypothesizes that Boeing's influential position on ANSI and ANAB's management committee—which has the power to grant, suspend, and withdraw certifications—allowed it to sidestep its own compliance requirements while dictating them to others.

ANSI and ANAB's management committee
PICTURE #1: ANSI-ANAB webpage was removed apparently in September 2024 due in part to Guberman's exposure of the cozy relationship Boeing has with their mandated via Supplier Bulletin, Supplier Portal, and ANSI-ANAB Management Committee where Boeing can grant, suspend, and withdraw certifications.

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the American National Accreditation Board (ANAB) were originally separate entities, but in 2018, ANSI took complete control of ANAB, although they continue to operate under their separate names. These two organizations, now under the same ownership, are also the founders of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF), a Delaware-incorporated association of national and international accreditation bodies. The IAF operates as a global framework, and its members are equivalent in accreditation to ANSI and ANAB. ANSI and ANAB, as underwriters of both the IAF and its sister organization, the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) based in Australia, bear legal responsibility for managing product and systemic failures associated with their certifications. This means that any failure, whether systemic or related to product quality, is a liability for ANSI-ANAB, and the broader accreditation framework they oversee.

Daryl Guberman has been actively exposing that ANSI-ANAB who have made overtures to merge the IAF and ILAC into a single entity called the Global Accreditation Cooperation (GLOBAC), which would consolidate the accreditation landscape. This merger, if it occurs, could shift liabilities, but the damage caused by systemic issues within the current structure remains a significant concern. Government bodies have already begun to acknowledge the issues with this framework, as these organizations are now legally accountable for any failures tied to their certifications.

This complex network of certifications, accrediting bodies, and oversight mechanisms raises serious questions about the integrity of Boeing's certification processes, especially when considering that it can both issue and revoke certifications (take away) through its position on the ANSI/ANAB management committee. The company's failure to secure its own AS9100 certification for over two decades while demanding it from suppliers & subcontractors, further complicates the narrative surrounding its quality management and regulatory adherence.

Following Guberman's public exposure of Boeing's supplier auditing failures April 17, 2024 Washington D.C. and its reliance on third-party certifications, Boeing quietly removed key supplier information letters from its website 2002 to early January 2025. Guberman, who retains archived copies and their Boeings web-addresses for these documents, asserts that this move was an attempt to obscure evidence of Boeing's 22-year abandonment of direct supplier oversight.

"The removal of these documents suggests that Boeing is trying to CONCEAL its long-standing negligence in supplier auditing," said Daryl Guberman. "A certificate on paper does not guarantee quality or integrity of parts and components supplied under ANSI-ANAB or their equivalents. True oversight requires hands-on inspection, something Boeing has deliberately avoided for over two decades, contributing to catastrophic failures like the Alaska Airlines door plug incident in 2024." This not only effects aerospace but also medical, automotive, electronics and other industries.

Guberman continues to advocate for greater transparency and accountability in aerospace manufacturing, emphasizing that regulatory capture and corporate influence over standards-setting bodies (ANSI-ANAB is a non-profit non governmental corporation having both Federal Agencies and Corporations board), have severely compromised aviation safety. His commitment to Boeing's future extends beyond whistleblower support—on June 18, 2024, Guberman attended Boeing CEO David Calhoun's deposition before Congress, where he knew that Calhoun, rather than being an experienced aerospace professional, was an accountant. Following this revelation, Guberman submitted a 42-page document—including his resume and 11 letters of recommendation—to Boeing's Board of Directors (11 documents) , offering his expertise in helping the company regain its footing. Despite receiving all certified mail return receipts, Boeing's Board never responded to his proposal.

As a Boeing shareholder, Guberman remained undeterred. In October 2024, he spent nearly a month in Washington state, speaking directly with Boeing employees at various facilities Auburn, Everett, Renton, North-field  . After these discussions, he prepared and submitted another detailed booklet—similar to the one he sent to Boeing's Board—to Kelly Ortberg, further offering his services as an outside consultant receiving certified mail return receipts . Guberman believes that without an external, independent perspective, Boeing will continue to struggle for decades, failing to reclaim the excellence it once embodied and giving it up to AIRBUS. He emphasizes that his conversations with rank-and-file employees, compounded by systemic mismanagement issues, highlight the urgent need for leadership that prioritizes quality, oversight, and hands-on accountability. What Boeing needs isn't another dark horse—it needs a Clydesdale: strong, steady leadership that's willing to roll up their sleeves and get to work," said Guberman. He emphasized that merely rotating personnel without bringing in new perspectives will not solve the company's deep-rooted problems. "Without an outsider like myself stepping in, Boeing will continue to suffer from internal apathy." https://www.openpr.com/news/3759898/the-dark-horse-solution-how-daryl-guberman-can-help-boeing
