5.1.1.3 and 5.3 Organizational Roles and Responsibilities and Process Owners

I am doing an IATF 16949 gap analysis using the AIAG tool and the Quality Manual and also the standards. In the manual the process owners are defined in the roles and responsibilities. Will I have a problem during an external audit if there is no separate paragraph to describe process owners? Thanks.

 

Do I have to have a section titled Process Owners. I did not changed this section of the manual. But the standard had a separate requirement for process owners. Our SOP's also describe roles and responsibilities. Thanks.

 

I just did a RACI matrix.

 

what is RACI matrix. please share it

 

The RACI Matrix is a powerful tool to assist in the identification of roles and assigning of cross-functional responsibilities to a project deliverable or activity
RACI represents: R - Responsible, A - Accountable, C - Consulted, and I - Informed
RACI Definitions:
Responsible = The person who executes the work and makes sure the task objective is achieved. There is only one person assigned as the Responsible role, although others can be delegated to assist.
Accountable = The person who is answerable for the correct and thorough completion of the deliverable or task, oversees and approves the Responsible tasks and deliverables. There must be only one Accountable party specified for each task or deliverable
Consulted = The person(s) whose opinions are sought, typically subject matter experts; and with whom there is two-way communication
Informed = Those who are kept up-to-date on progress, often only on completion of the task or deliverable; and with whom there is just one-way communication

I might have seen a simple matrix in this forum. We have a complex one for the R&D division, It's a confidential document with names written on it. Hope this helps a bit.

 

For a number of years, I have used Matrix of Responsibility for various processes, using the following abbreviations:

P = Primary Responsibility of...
S = Secondary Responsibility or Support to be provided by...
I = Information to be given to...
C = Coordination by (this was rarely used)

No CB auditor ever commented on this.

 

Here's our APQP RASIC as an example.
