If the procedure says ?Joe Blow? or ?the Quality Engineer? ?shall perform? or ?is responsible for? (whatever activity), and no alternate is listed, our AS9100 auditor would never accept it if Jane Doe did the work, even if Jane was Joe?s (or the QE?s) boss/manager/supervisor. It would be a finding. I am sure of it.
Maybe you don?t see it as a big deal, but I am sure our auditor would.
JMO - YMMV
