Long before the harrowing Alaska Airlines blowout on Jan. 5, there were concerns within Boeing about the way the aerospace giant was building its planes. Boeing, like so many other American manufacturers, was outsourcing more and more of the components that went into its complex machines. A Boeing aerospace engineer presented a controversial white paper in 2001 at an internal technical symposium. The engineer, John Hart-Smith, warned colleagues of the risks of the subcontracting strategy, especially if Boeing outsourced too much work and didn’t provide sufficient on-site quality and technical support to its suppliers.

Photo: POOL/REUTERSBoeing booked a third-quarter loss and lowered delivery goals this year for its 737 MAX jet, which accounts for the bulk of the plane maker’s output. Boeing lost $1.64 billion in the quarter ended Sept. 30, more than analysts expected, and it reported negative cash flow from its operations. But the company met expectations for sales, and executives kept their full-year and medium-term financial guidance unchanged.

Consumer spending has held up relatively well so far despite inflation, but experts say we’re approaching an inflection point. WSJ’s Sharon Terlep explains the role ‘elasticity’ plays in a company’s decision on whether to raise prices. Photo illustration: Adele MorganMakers of everyday household goods say consumers are sticking with them despite double-digit price increases. A raft of American and European companies producing packaged food and other staples such as tissues and cleaning products have reported results over the past week or so, and the results are encouraging. Analysts had expected growth of 6.9%, according to VisibleAlpha.
Is it better to wash your clothes with cold or warm water? (Be careful how you answer; the topic has been known to hamper polite discourse.) The maker of Tide detergent has thrown its marketing weight behind Team Cold. Procter & Gamble Co. argues that a chilly wash cycle reduces the impact of a costly and energy-guzzling domestic chore, and has enlisted rapper Vanilla Ice, actor/musician Ice-T, pro wrestler “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and other celebrities to promote the concept.

Newell, which makes Elmer’s glue and other household products, has struggled since closing a $15 billion acquisition in 2016. Newell Brands Inc. said it was changing chief executives and slashed its financial forecasts for the year, as the maker of kitchen gadgets and school supplies prepares for potential economic downturn. Ravi Saligram , who took over as CEO in October 2019, will retire effective May 16 and hand over the top job to one of his deputies, President Chris Peterson . Mr. Saligram, a former CEO of OfficeMax and Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers Inc., has overseen a restructuring at the company.

Peloton Interactive Inc. reported another quarterly loss and a 30% drop in quarterly sales, though the company reduced the amount of cash being burned by its operations. The results were better than the maker of connected fitness equipment predicted for the holiday quarter. The company held steady with about 3 million subscribers to its online workouts. Shares gained about 5% in premarket trading.
CVS says most of its reduced hours will be when there is low patient demand or when a store has only one pharmacist on site. CVS Health Corp. and Walmart Inc. are cutting pharmacy hours in the midst of a pharmacist shortage that has plagued the nation’s biggest drugstore chains throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. CVS, the largest U.S. drugstore chain by revenue, plans in March to cut or shift hours at about two-thirds of its roughly 9,000 U.S. locations. Walmart plans to reduce pharmacy hours by closing at 7 p.m. instead of 9 p.m. at most of its roughly 4,600 stores by March.

After lifting prices to new heights, Procter & Gamble Co. reported lower quarterly profit and declining sales volumes as the rising costs of Tide detergent and other staples prompted consumers to cut back on purchases at the end of 2022. Sales volumes fell 6% at P&G —the biggest quarterly drop in years—with declines at each of the company’s five major business units in the three months ended Dec. 31 compared with a year earlier. P&G increased prices by 10% in the period, helping the company report a 5% boost in organic sales, which exclude currency swings and acquisitions.
Beauty products are locked in a case with a customer-service button at a Walgreens in New York City. Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. said it might have taken anti-shoplifting efforts too far. The nation’s second-largest U.S. pharmacy chain by locations poured money last year into additional security, some of which executives said was ineffective, and it is now considering cutting back as losses from theft have dropped significantly, finance chief James Kehoe said Thursday.
Attention, CEOs: If not enough people are using your product, maybe animals will. “Have you seen the numbers? They’re staggering,” said Jenna Mutch , a vice president at portable-ultrasound maker Butterfly Network Inc., referring to the rush of Americans who have brought home pets since the pandemic began. About 23 million households did, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
The Covid-19 pandemic might not be gone, but the global supply-chain crisis it spawned has abated. Goods are moving around the world again and reaching companies and consumers, despite some production snarls and Covid outbreaks inside China. Gone are the weekslong backlogs of cargo ships at large ports. Ocean shipping rates have plunged below prepandemic levels.
U.S. households are stepping up spending on cough and cold medicines and children’s pain relievers amid a rise in reports of respiratory infections, leading to sporadic shortages of some drugs online and at stores. Flu infections and hospitalizations are surging across the country, federal data suggests, on top of an already busy season for other respiratory viruses including respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV. These viruses are common in the fall and winter months, but the sharp, early increases have roiled families and put pressure on children’s hospitals.

  + stars: | 2022-12-04 | by ( Sharon Terlep | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
CVS Health Corp. is testing a system that allows pharmacists to process prescriptions in part remotely, a move it said could improve store working conditions and the experience for customers as the company grapples with a shortage of pharmacists. CVS has equipped roughly 8,000 of its more than 9,000 U.S. drugstores with technology that allows pharmacists to review and enter prescription information remotely while still meeting patient-privacy requirements. About 400 of CVS’s 30,000 pharmacists are currently helping prepare prescriptions either at central locations, from their homes or in stores other than where medications will be dispensed, the company said.
Black Friday is back—even if many of the door-buster deals aren’t. Millions of Americans are expected to visit bricks-and-mortar stores on the Friday after Thanksgiving as the Covid-19 pandemic recedes and people return to prepandemic habits. That is a reversal of the past two years, when they were largely stuck at home and did more shopping online. This year, however, many household budgets are pinched by high gas and grocery prices.
