You have to make sure your routines are as bulletproof as possible. Ideally, the fixturing would be mounted permanently. Fixture would also be designed so that there is only one way to load the part. Have some way to double check that the part is loaded against the fixture stops. Design the Program so that all that the operator needs to do is load the part and tell it to start measuring. Don't be surprised if it takes a year to figure out most of the stupid things that can go wrong.
Worked with someone once who could misread any kind of possible instructions. It finally got to the point that I would have her review things before I released it out into the wild. If it passed the "Kathy" test then it was perfect. Made me much better at explaining things and making routines idiot resistant.
