In 1990, the Hanford Site, a US Department of Energy project, changed missions from defense production to environmental restoration. An engineering group at Westinghouse Hanford Company, prime contractor at the Hanford Site, hired a trainer to help publish documents and develop group-specific courses. Boeing Computer Services Richland, subcontractor providing publications services, hired editor trainers. Kaiser Engineers Hanford, another subcontractor, provides site-wide Quality training. Four trainers, friends, met weekly for lunch: These meetings evolved into training exchanges. This presentation illustrates ways that inter- or intra-company teaming can work to improve technical communication. Additional benefits are significant cost and time savings to all companies involved.
