Auditing an external program

Whats up gang. I have a question, well perhaps I know the answer to this one, but I just wanted to throw it out there and see if anyone had a better idea,

Example, we have a part that is manufactured by an outside vendor. The Vendor operates Calypso software, If I wanted to verify that the program is correct, the sole purpose is to see if the vendors programmer is a good programmer and follows the print etc..

What would be the best way to verify that? If it was pc-dmis, of course I could have just ask them to export me a prg file, but what If I dont have that software? is Visiting the Vendor is the Only option? Purchasing the Software perhaps, but can we really purchase 2-3 software's??

  • I would just have them run a few parts and label the parts, then when you receive the labeled parts and reports run on your program and verify. If your results are similar then you should be all set. This will not ensure the program is correct but it will show that both of you are doing it similar.
    Do you not have confidence in your programs? If the numbers are similar and you know how you programmed yours than you should be confident in the results.
