CMM inspection

I have a question
How far do you go as a cmm programmer after you inspect a part?
Do you just print a report and tell the machinist what’s wrong?
Or do you go as far as to go to the machine asking them how its cutting how it’s moving and tell them how to fix it?

I need to go down to the machine every third or fourth program to make a minor tweak or point out things to the operator like "You have the wrong part for this program on the machine" or "Your part moved in the fixture". I occasionally see a report after a program is complete. Every once in a while one of the product engineers will call me with a question. I do a machine tool evaluation about once every other month....

Basically, I'm an ivory tower programmer. I couldn't find half of the machining centers here, and that's how the company wants it.
