Outsourcing was extended on the 787 to the extent that Boeing's own involvement was reduced to little more than project management, design, assembly and test operation, outsourcing most of the actual manufacturing all around the world.
Outsourcing diperluas dalam proyek 787 sampai di mana keterlibatan Boeing sendiri dikurangi hanya dalam manajemen proyek, desain, perakitan dan pengetesan, mengoutsourcekan banyak pabrikan di seluruh dunia.
