not common to see someone with a camera on the grounds of the Kansas City Plant. It’s
even more unusual when the camera looks like one that might have been used during
the Civil War.

Such a camera was seen at the Kansas City Plant several times during June.
Cydney Millstein, an architectural historian, and photographer Richard Weln have photographed
locations in and around the Kansas City Plant as part of a State Historic Preservation Office evaluation, which is a requirement under the National Historic Preservation Act.
The camera they’re using – a view camera with bellows – is actually quite modern, and it provides
the high-quality photos required to develop the Historical American Engineer Record (HAER) for
the site.

The HAER requires that archival-quality photographs be taken and
included as part of the submittal to the National Parks Service and the
Library of Congress.
“The Act directs federal agencies to nominate eligible historic properties
to the National Register of Historic Places,” said KCRIMS Project Manager
Brad Heacock.
One of the criteria for listing is having significant architecture. The
Kansas City Plant was designed during World War II by Albert Kahn, the
foremost industrial architect of the time, using innovative design and
construction techniques. Additionally, due to the role the site played
in World War II and the Korean conflict, as well as the weapon parts
production mission during the Cold War, the Kansas City Plant satisfies
many of the criteria needed to qualify as a historic building.
Being a historic site is not the same as being a landmark, but because of
the facility’s historic significance, a complete narrative history of the site
must be compiled; that’s what the nomination to the Register and the
HAER documentation are designed to do.

FM&T recognized for
progressive manufacturing
Honeywell FM&T has received
three 2011 Progressive
Manufacturing 100 Awards.
“The working group is
helping us deliver on our
commitments relative to
KCRIMS.”
The PM100 Awards recognize manufacturing companies
from around the world that have achieved significant
breakthroughs in innovation, in the use of advanced technologies, and in the effective management of their businesses.
FM&T Vice President Robin Stubenhofer.
“These companies have demonstrated an ability to
rethink their businesses and apply advanced technologies
in innovative ways that manufacturers everywhere would
be well served to emulate,” said David R. Brousell, Editorin-Chief of Manufacturing Enterprise Communications,
producer of the Manufacturing Leadership Summit. “The
PM100 winners this year are role models for the successful
manufacturing company of today and in the future.”
FM&T won two awards in the Supply Network Mastery
category – for the Supply Chain Management Center and Supply
Chain Execution and Sourcing – and one in the Operational Excellence
Mastery category for the Command Media Transformation project.
An independent blue-ribbon panel, including leading manufacturing
researchers and analysts, academics and manufacturing executives,
including past PM100 winners, evaluated and judged all nominations.
“Your company’s selection as a PM100 Award winner confirms that
Honeywell FM&T is among the most innovative manufacturers in the
world,” said Jeff Moad, executive editor of Managing Automation. “Your
winning projects were selected by a panel of distinguished judges
from among hundreds of nominations. This recognition is something of
which everyone at your company should be very proud.” u

The
Kansas City Plant hosted the SNL/KCP Working Group in
Kansas City on June 1 and 2. Sandia National Laboratories,
a key partner on the KCRIMS project, is responsible for formal requalification of more than 200 SNL- designed weapons products and 80
testers and gages; the requalification is critically important as production departments at the Kansas City Plant prepare for a move to the
new facility.
While the KCP routinely performs requalification activities in the current
facility, the volume and complexity of moving the entire plant requires
special advanced planning with the Design Agencies. SNL has responsibility for more than two-thirds of the parts built at the KCP. The SNL/
KCP working group was established in April 2010 specifically to manage
requalification, and the group meets regularly to ensure that requalification requirements are defined and quantities are authorized in advance
to support NNSA ship requirements at the Botts Road facility.
Kansas City Site Office and NNSA Headquarters customers continue to
be involved with the KCP and Design Agency partners as part of KCRIMS
planning and execution. Wendy Baca, NA-12 Senior Technical Advisor for
Stockpile Sustainment, is a key member of the SNL/KCP working group.
She is also the NNSA sponsor for the KCRIMS project, and interfaces with
NNSA Headquarters, program offices, and the design agencies on issues
related to KCRIMS. “Wendy’s involvement is critical to ensure that there
are no roadblocks to requalification that would delay production or
shipments,” said FM&T Vice President Robin Stubenhofer. “The working
group is helping us deliver on our commitments relative to KCRIMS.”

Volunteerssupport
Honeywell supports education
to protect watershed
The Kansas City Plant is located in the Blue
River Watershed, and Kansas City Plant
employees have participated for many years
in efforts to keep the river clean and healthy,
including providing approximately 100
volunteers each year for the Blue River Rescue.
On June 23, the Kansas City Plant’s commitment to the Blue River
continued as 50 Honeywell FM&T volunteers joined 40 students from
Center Alternative High School
at Indian Creek to perform
water quality tests, monitor
stream conditions, and pick up
litter left behind by heavy rains.
The activity was part of T.R.U.E.
(Teaching Rivers in an Urban
Environment) Blue, a program
sponsored by the Blue River
Watershed Association, a not-forprofit corporation dedicated to
protecting and restoring the
Blue River Watershed.

and Municipal Auditorium. Students competed hands-on in 94 different
trade, technical, and leadership fields, proving their expertise in occupations like electronics, computer-aided drafting, precision machining, and
medical assisting.
On June 23, students and volunteers gathered at
Indian Creek, near the Bannister Federal Complex,
to participate in activities that teach students how
to be better stewards of the Blue River Watershed.
“Honeywell not only funds this educational
and community service opportunity, but
also provides the employee volunteers who
mentor the students,” said Leslie Alford,
