There should be an organization chart for the company showing individual functions and to whom they are responsible. Job descriptions should clearly indicate responsibilities for quality. The assessor should read the job description of the quality assurance/improvement coordinator as well as of a few managers and supervisors to establish the answer to the question.

Experience leads one to agree with Joslyn s conclusion that this so-called regeneration does not contribute to quality deterioration. The writer has repeatedly observed with frozen pea samples, out in the trade for a year and a half and accepted at the time of packing as passing the peroxidase test and still of normal quality, positive reaction times well within the 3.5-minute time limit very frequently the reaction time has been only a matter of seconds. If it should be proved that these observations are the result of enzyme regeneration, this is additional evidence that peroxidase is not responsible for quality deterioration in underblanched products. 

Much valuable research has been devoted to developing the basic principles for the production of frozen fruits and vegetables of high and uniform quality. If this knowledge could be applied to its fullest extent, there would be little need for concern over the quality of such foods. Before this can be done, those responsible for quality control must be provided with suitable standards of quality and condition, and objective methods of analysis which will clearly indicate conformance or nonconformance to the standards. Responsibility for this resides with the research food technologist or chemist. It constitutes a rich field for profitable and practical research. 

And further, that the responsibilities for quality-related activities of the contract giver and contract acceptor should be specified in a written agreement . Similarly, ISO 9001 (2000) states that, Where an organization chooses to outsource any process that affects product conformity, the organisation shall ensure control over such outsourced processes. Control of such outsourced processes shall be identified within the quality management system. ...

Within the processes that flow across organizational boundaries the responsibilities for quality improvement are shown in this slide. 

The FDA retained the requirement for a quahty assurance unit, or function, to monitor studies for conformance to the regulations. It was emphasized that the function was administrative rather than scientific. The personnel responsible for quality assurance for a given study were required to be separate from, and independent of, the personnel responsible for the direction and conduct of that study. 

In a modern quality system, the organizational unit responsible for quality-related activities within the organization generally has a central role in the...

Traditional industry paradigm has the Quality Department responsible for quality and the Manufacturing Department responsible for producing product. Inherent conflict exists in this model due to competing functional priorities. By building quality concepts and accountabilities into production processes responsible for production, quality becomes infused into the organization. Both Quality and... 

There should be an appropriate and sufficient structured system, including organizational structure and documentation infrastructure, sufficient sufficient personnel and financial resources to perform validation tasks in a timely manner. Management and the personnel responsible for quality assurance should be involved in this discussion. Validation performance must be under the responsibility of appropriate and experience personnel that should represent different departments depending on the validation work to be performed. 

Food polymers and the behaviour of their mixtures are mainly responsible for the structure-properties relationship in both food and chyme. The two basic features of food are that its biopolymers, proteins and polysaccharides are its main construction materials and water is the main medium, solvent and plasticizer. In other words, three components— protein, polysaccharide and water—are the main elements of food structure that are principally responsible for quality of foods (see also Chapter 13). 

To put these leadership goals into practice, we have established Quality Management Teams (QMT) in each of our plants. The QMT consists of the complete plant management team—quality, production, engineering, technical support, human resources, and finance. The plant managers chair the QMT to symbolize their responsibility for quality and because they have the power to assure all employees follow the quality principles. The purpose of the QMT is ...
