Does it matter if those machines are an hour out for 6 months? Why not just keep them on UTC as a rule?

For quality control it did. The real concern is people messing up time. If there was a quality complaint we wanted it to be easy for people to go back thru production data. A lot of the people operating the machinery and performing quality checks at our facility are not well educated, and the need is there to make investigating quality tasks/entering quality data very easy.

thru

I'd hate to see people cutting corners.

Thru is the USA spelling. There's nothing wrong with using it.
