The latest iteration of the data I’ve found is that Boeing and Spirit (the subcontractor) used different QC systems that weren’t fully compatible; one of the areas of incompatibility is around manufacturing and maintenance procedures of the plug door, and nobody put a process in place to account for that (if you’re in tech, you know that means it was considered “tech debt” that can be fixed “later”).
