EVERETT — A year after a door plug blew out of a 737 Max after taking off from Portland, Boeing detailed the strides the company said it has made in its safety protocols.

In response to the door plug blow out, the Federal Aviation Administration required Boeing to create a Safety and Quality Plan to improve the company’s safety management and quality assurance.

The company shared updates to the safety plan on Friday.

Immediately following the incident, Boeing revised its build plans and training processes, while instituting additional controls to prevent defects in door plugs and similar structures, according to a company summary of the plan released in May. It also updated its software for reporting safety issues, known as Speak Up, with reports increasing by more than 500% in the first two months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.
