The engineers need a "factory day". They spend a day trying to do the work they specify and it all gets tossed at the end of the day. They learn the scale is off, shit comes in 50 kg bags, and temperatures vary.

The factory guys could have an office day to learn about the paperwork and money.

Send both groups to do something fun after.
