RE: Part numbers for a redesigned parts
Are you trying to ask if the part needs a new number if it's redesigned?
If so, probably, but it depends on a number of factors.

RE: Part numbers for a redesigned parts
When a part is designed, assigned a part number, and manufactured, it is good practice to not change form, fit or function. If someone walks into your warehouse looking for part 123-AB3321, whatever they find should function as that part.
This point has been brought up repeatedly on Eng-Tips. Use the Google window, above, and search on "form fit function".

For example, could both versions be put in a bin on the shop floor and used at random with no problems, including any related to tracability.
'Changes to form fit or function' often get trotted out as the be all and end all of when it's a new rev but even that's incomplete.
KENAT,
Have you reminded yourself of FAQ731-376: Eng-Tips.com Forum Policies recently, or taken a look at posting policies: http://eng-tips.com/market.cfm?
What is Engineering anyway: FAQ1088-1484: In layman terms, what is "engineering"?
