Usually when we define the various activities in an operating procedures,
We assign the 'doing/performing of activities' to people under title of 'responsibilities' and assign the activities of 'ensuring the activities/compliance' under title of 'accountable'.
(These need not be titles/section, they are defined with different terms viz.,
* Production associate shall be responsible to operate the machine
* Production supervisor shall be responsible to monitor the conditions/outcome/
* Production manager shall be accountable to ensure compliance/implementation etc., )
Request thoughts/guidance in clarifying the above approach/process. (responsibility vs accountability)
My point is that, the way associate/supervisor have their responsibilities defined, isn't the manager's responsibility is to manage/process? Hence that must also be responsibility!
