I’m guessing that, at Boeing, it’s OK to stop the line because they value root cause problem solving and the prevention of other problems. This is a Lean principle used at Virgina Mason Medical Center (also in Seattle). They use the principle in their “patient safety alerts” which emphasizes calling out problems (or risks) when you see them and getting the problem resolved for future prevention (this goes well beyond normal “fire fighting”). See related blog posts about this concept at VMMC. [...] [...] Read this classic tale from 2007 about the mindset differences at Toyota (you must stop the line) ve…duction).

If the defect HAD been discovered, the good practice from Lean and the Toyota Production System would be to stop the line so it didn’t have to be fixed later. Some Big Three (Detroit Three) plants have struggled with the culture change required to allow workers to “stop the line” when they see a problem (like this fairly recent story about a Ford truck plant).
