>Employees at the Renton, Wash., factory where the Max is produced were overworked, exhausted and making mistakes, Mr. Pierson said in an interview. A cascade of damaged parts, missing tools and incomplete instructions was preventing planes from being built on time. Executives were pressuring workers to complete planes despite staff shortages and a chaotic factory floor.

I wonder how much of this is directly the result of penny pinching by MBA types. I'm gradually coming to believe that non-technical management of technical endeavors is the root of most failure in the engineering domain.
