Roles and responsibilities matrix

One option for the management of functional safety is developing and using a roles-and-responsibilities matrix. The attached roles-and-responsibilities matrix is provided for illustration purposes only. It is typically developed for each specific project. In the roles-and-responsibilities matrix, each clause or step is divided into four activities - planning, inputs, outputs, and verification. 

The verification portion includes all the specific requirements (all the shall statements) from the standard. Whoever has the review responsibility for any lifecycle activity deliverable should consider developing a verification list that addresses relevant requirements from the standard.

Clearly established roles and responsibilities enable the necessary resources to be defined early, ensuring that the project is correctly staffed. Table C.1 provides an example of a roles-and-responsibilities matrix. For this project, an SIS specialist was the project lead.

Establishing overall and specific organizational roles and responsibilities of different functions and disciplines by defining individual roles, responsibilities, accountabilities, and interfaces in the project team with matrix personnel and organizations, and between contractors and subcontractors. 

Strategic Planning, and Finance. The committee reviews the proposed list of SKUs to be retired and make decision of keeping or retiring each product. There is a formal and updated RACI matrix (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted and Informed) that states clear roles and responsibilities for each participant in the process. 

At the conclusion of the kickoff phase, an Interface Document should be prepared by the SIMOPs coordinator. It should summarize the work that has to be done, the roles and responsibilities of each party, and a matrix showing which activities may be carried out at the same time. 

Actin filaments are about 6imi in diameter and composed of two intertwined actin chains. They are mostly concentrated just beneath the cell membrane, and are responsible for resisting tension and maintaining cellular shape, and participating in ceU-cell and cell-matrix junctions in these latter roles they are essential to intracellular signal transduction processes. They are also important for cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm in mitosis) and cytoplasmic streaming in most cells. 

Responsibilities for writing, approving, and authorizing should be assigned. This can be in the form of a matrix that identifies the specific tasks for the role and the meaning of the role relating to a specific task. Four generic roles are defined ... 

The increasing use of high performance, fibrous composites in critical structural applications has led to a need to predict the lifetimes of these materials in service environments. To predict the durability of a composite in service environment requires a basic understanding of (1) the microscopic deformation and failure processes of the composite (2) the roles played by the fiber, epoxy matrix and fiber-matrix interfacial region in composite performance and (3) the relations between the structure, deformation and failure processes and mechanical response of the fiber, epoxy matrix and their interface and how such relations are modified by environmental factors. 

A relevant contribution to the conposite prcperties dqiends on the matrix characteristics.

The composite phases play different roles and depend on the typology and application of the composite itself. In case of low- or medium-performance composites, the strengthening is usually made out of short fibers or particles, which allow for a certain stiffiiess and, at the same time, strengthen the material only locally. On the other hand, the matrix is the main member responsible for load bearing and for defining the mechanical features of the material.
