probably the banal explanation is that they have two record systems (one official, one where the real notes are) and things get lost in translation between the two. The seal gets fixed, but the bolts reinstall work order doesn't get tracked.

CMES – Common Manufacturing Execution System
SAT – Situation Action Tracker
Spirit employees cannot get write access to CMES, by process.
Going back to P poor quality of fuselage deliveries in 2018 Spirit teams have been onsite in Renton & Moses Lake.
It was common that Spirit could be doing out of sequence work all the way after factory rollout.
Frequently Boeing Senior Managers demanded CMES access for Spirit teams, but it can’t be allowed. Access to SAT is fine because it is not a production system.
When Wichita was part of Boeing system access was not an issue.
The only way to integrate Spirit SAT entries & info into CMES is manually, and that is tedious and error prone. Information escapes are unavoidable when 2 companies are working in multiple systems of “record”.
