The Boeing Sheltered
Workshop program began in 1952 with two workshops accomplishing
approximately 10,000 hours of production work annually.
Today, the Sheltered Workshop Program has thirteen suppliers that
accomplished more than 460,000 production hours in 2003 and produced
over 2,000,000 production parts and assemblies with a near-perfect
quality rating. The Sheltered Workshops provide a large range of
manufacturing and service capabilities, and by considering them for
future work you will provide employment and services for individuals
with disabilities.
Here is a quote to Lighthouse for the Blind from a
satisfied customer.
“Please accept my sincere appreciation for the efforts
put forth by your staff under the contract for one-quart canteens. The
canteens were in a critical supply position and through the dedicated
and accelerated efforts put forth by your staff, our backorder position
will be alleviated by the end of the month. Your staff rose to the
occasion, accelerating shipment of end items within 30 days of contract
award and making weekly shipments on this critical item needed in
support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
Again, my personal thanks for a job well done. We look
forward to working with you in the future.”
--George H Allen, Deputy Commander, Government of
Defense
