Short Note - Assigning responsibilities and authorities for processes

Short Note - Assigning responsibilities and authorities for processes

Please refer to clause 4.4.1(e) of ISO 9001:2015 QMS standard.

The organization needs to assign the responsibilities and authorities of its (organization's) processes, for which following should be considered and determined:
- What are the activities of each process?
- Who will perform the activity/activities?
- What will be the responsibilities and authorities of the person performing the activity/activities?

Considering the above, steps should be taken to assign the responsibilities authorities in a documented information. Documented information may be organization chart, documented procedure, operational policies, job descriptions, or instructions.
