If the queue contains jobs that are not identical. There needs to be some
BIG warning that the tooling needs to be set up for the next upcoming job.
I can just see making 8 identical parts and all the operator does in
swap in new material and then the operator sets up a 9th ruins and the
program is different and the tool crashes into the clamps.
It is easy to ignore warnings after 8 or 10 unimportant ones when the next
one is important.
