Ironically the biggest hurdle was actually a very minor change that slightly confused the machine operators.
I produced production plans with 2 digit numbers (it was actually the last 2 digits of a 4 digit number).
In the old way you could have 2 plans with the same number which was a not problem because CNC code on the disk was different.
The new way we used the full 4 digit plan number and it was suddenly an issue as it was "different". The operators soon got used to it.

@raymierussell It's always little things like that. Many years ago I made the error of introducing a new way of versioning in our various documents. It went from 1, 2, 3 ... 10, 11 ... 102, 103 etc. to R001, R002, R003 etc. With R meaning "revision" or even nothing at all. Most people just got it and used it properly. Some people though decided this isn't right and started... versioning. Years later we still have some documents with versions like R003-1, R003-version2, R003-V04 etc.
