usually, line clearance is carried out by QA, to ensure that all the previous steps are cleared (avoid mix up and contamination etc.,);
then the machine setup (includes mounting new product specific change parts etc, completing the initial runs to ensure desired performance) are taken care by production supervisor.
the question is, should this initial machine setup be part of QA - line clearance? (should QA be part of initial-machine setup?, especially for critical operations, which determine the product outcome/performance)
