Icy
I used to get this a lot.
Then I said something like "you're the process owner, but if you are not interested or too busy, well in the spirit of team work I'll go ahead and do the best possible job I can at writing procedures for YOUR systems about things I don't understand but YOU DO UNDERSTAND, and when I get them done, well then you will have to follow them as I wrote them or CORRECT MY MISTAKES....."
I only had to write one before people decided it was better/faster to do it themselves.
This could be a new thread - why do we as Quality take on other peoples work? We only aid and abet the "plak on the wall problem" when we do this. No understanding, no benefit, no ownership if we do it for them.
I put off QS9000 for a significant period of time because I insisted process owners get involved. I was hated but not fired.
